With a voice that cuts to the bone and songs that pull on the heart strings, Emily Barnes has the ability to turn any room into a listening room.

Lily DeTaeye is a Des Moines native, harmonica-wielding singer songwriter signed to Station 1 Records. She is a prolific writer with a captivating and powerful voice, seamlessly blending her musical influences of folk, indie-rock, blues, and jazz. Lily has been traveling the highways of the American Midwest touring solo and with her band. Her full length-album, “BiTe Back” is the culmination of over two years of writing, recording, touring, studying, and storytelling across hundreds of shows and thousands of miles. Recorded at Public Hi-Fi in Austin, TX, “BiTe Back” is out now.

With a diverse four albums and many miles under her belt, Barnes is a seasoned singer-songwriter who continues to build a grassroots following from city to small town, one new believer at a time. Her most recent release, Rare Birds, thrust her onto the national stage including a trip to the highly coveted Kerrville Folk Festival. Now based in Colorado, Barnes writes vivid songs of empathy, love and perseverance over lush melodies.

There is a feeling one gets when witnessing something authentic and rare, and that aura permeates the room at an Emily Barnes show.
