Quickly becoming one of Canada's most vibrant singer/songwriter/guitarists, the Toronto Independent Music Award nominee also will kick off her first U.S tour in February at The Langdon Street Caf� in Montpelier, VT.

The first leg of the tour will continue through March, including dates at SXSW in Austin and the International Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis.

"I've had a really positive response whenever I've performed for audiences south of the border," says Emma, "so it's exciting to be able to continue the momentum Hit & Run has gained by releasing it in the U.S. with my first real tour of the States."
