Event
Emma Hill and Brian Daste
Concerts Off the Circle is a house concert venue dedicated to showcasing local talent in an intimate environment.
Join us for an evening of music with Emma Hill and Brian Daste.
Emma Hill and longtime band mate Bryan Daste are at it again. The Alaskan duo, who have been compared to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, are set to release their fifth full length album this fall. Entitled "Denali", the album was co-produced with Evan Phillips (Whipsaws, Easton Stagger Phillips) of Alaska and features many of the state's finest players. These players will join Hill and Daste for a special album release show on August 16th at The Taproot in Anchorage. Through August the duo will tour extensively in Alaska followed by a nationwide tour in support of the new album.
Emma Hill grew up in Alaska, coming from the small village of Sleetmute and later moving into Palmer for high school. In 2006 Hill decided to move to Portland, a thriving music scene, to continue her education and pursue her musical aspirations. In 2007 Hill met Daste and they began their collaboration. Seven busy years, four widely well-reviewed albums, and thousands of tour miles later, the duo are going strong, bringing remarkably intimate lyrics to life with their poignant harmonies, lonesome pedal steel, and Hill's honeyed voice and confident delivery. Critics have described their sound as ranging from folksy Americana to catchy alt-country.
Hill moved back to Alaska in the fall of 2011, combining performing for her fan base in the state with travel south for regional and national tours. She stays busy year round performing solo as well as with Daste both in Alaska and the states. The pair plays various venues but their signature performance experience is the house concert. The intimate setting of a house show lends itself perfectly to their style and will continue to be a staple of their tours this year as they promote "Denali", the newest addition to an impressive body of work.
