Wielding a voice that defies the size of her body and strong storytelling sensibilities, Emilia Dahlin has carved out her name as a unique songstress. She weaves mesmerizing tales (complete with Greek myths, robotic messiahs, epic floods, and tax evaders) with raw, rootsy folk and dynamic jazz vocals. Her well-crafted songs sound as if they've been left outside where time and weather have worn cracks for the wind to whip through. Emilia still resides in Portland, Maine where she was voted "Best Singer/Songwriter of 2006" and "Best Female Vocalist of 2005/2006". Her highlight of 2005 was being selected as a finalist in the NEMO Songwriting Competition out of the 1,800 submissions. Her highlight of 2006 was being named a finalist in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubadour Competition. Emilia has also showcased at NEMO (2005) and at the National Association for Campus Activities regional conferences in Boston and Cedar Rapids. For more, go to www.myspace.com/emiliadahlinmusic.
