Emilia Dahlin at Village Coffehouse on Saturday May 5

Wielding a voice that defies the size of her body, Emilia Dahlin has carved out her name as a unique songstress. She combines her strong storytelling sensibilities with raw, rootsy folk and jazz vocals to create mesmerizing tales of epic proportions. Her weaving of a historian’s imagination with a troubadour’s artistry offers an American original sound that blends vintage jazz, the tang of a Tom Waitsian waltz and the somber grit of a low tide lullaby. She is another favorite at the Coffeehouse.
