More about the fantastic female rockers who will be helping you dance the night away:
SUMif’s energetic live performance has been praised by key local press such as The Bay Bridged and SF Critic. By the end of 2017 SUMif had started making waves among key tastemakers with praise from NYLON, C-Heads, Go Magazine, Buzzfeed, Atwood Magazine, Damaged Magazine, High Clouds, and Indie Shuffle, and was added to Spotify’s Metropolis playlist.
Emily's debut album, Archetype, has been called an indie-pop explosion from "an artist who is clearly on an ascent" (Pure Volume). The episodic debut LP, co-produced by David Earl and Lila Rose reveals a new edge and depth to the once sweet singer-songwriter's music. After touring most of 2017, Emily has returned to the Bay Area to record and release her next album.
