Known for her big voice, big energy and even bigger hair, also known as Sugar Mama from AUS cult followed band The Mamas, Miss Emilia creates music for the soul; funky, wild and with a voice that is timeless as is familiar. AUS born, with Jewish & Eastern European roots, Miss Emilia is a unique blend of familiar old-school soulful sounds that we all grew up with, melded with arts-activism messages of new age empowerment, self-love and calls for equality.
Having travelled internationally for jazz festivals and selling out rooms in Australia, get ready for some vintage Soul, Funk and Jazz merging together with wild horn like improvisations and soaring vocals, with her nostalgic voice and music being known to move the masses. With an aesthetic to make you feel like you’re taken back to the age of glitz and glamour, let her take you back in time with jazz classics in an intimate duo setting.
This event is part of Jimmy Hornet’s regular Thursday jazz concerts, featuring a different singer each week alongside pianist Joe McEvilly. When he’s not performing with some of Melbourne’s best loved jazz vocalists, Joe McEvilly is in demand as a pianist, composer and arranger as well as running bands including Movement 9, Aurora Australis and the Joe McEvilly Sextet.
