Emily Hackett

Emily Hackett is a Nashville singer-songwriter whose live shows feel like an evening spent with an old friend—equal parts heartfelt storytelling, disarming humor, and songs that linger long after the last note. Whether performing solo or with a full band, she creates an intimate atmosphere where audiences feel invited into the conversation rather than simply watching from the crowd. A featured artist with CMT’s Next Women of Country, Belk’s Modern Southern Music Tour, and a finalist in Lightning 100’s Music City Mayhem, Hackett has spent years earning a reputation as a captivating live performer throughout Nashville and beyond. Drawing from influences like Laurel Canyon songwriting, classic soul, and timeless pop melodies, she balances emotional depth with warmth and wit. Her recent album, Must Be Present to Win, extends that same spirit—songs that encourage listeners to pay attention to the beauty hiding in ordinary moments. —Will play both original music and covers mixed set
