Since 1994. Coming out of Detroit from the ashes of Popsick, I Stand mute, Brooklawn. 4 song ep can be found of most streaming services including Spotify and Youtube. Thanks for listening

I was almost famous in the 90's but i still write a song from time to time. I sing play guitar, mandolin and bass.

Emily Duff’s small batch brand of Sweet & Sour Rock & Roll with a great big hit of Country Soul, digs deep, weaving a patchwork of sin, tragedy, romance and regret. A humble servant of song as well as a dark optimist, Emily is a prolific and unique voice at a crazy & crucial time. Born in Flushing Queens, NYC and raised by a pack of cigarettes, her Mama taught her four perfect chords and then ran off, leaving Emily to figure the rest out on her own.  

Emily has recorded and released 5 records in the past 6 years. Two at FAME, the legendary Muscle Shoals, Alabama studio, one at NY Noise and two with producer, Eric “Roscoe” Ambel at his Brooklyn studio, Cowboy Technical Services. Her most recent record, “Razor Blade Smile” produced by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel (Joan Jett, Sarah Borges, Del Lords) takes Emily back to her NYC Street-Punk-Rock-Roots, proving that great songwriting defies genres and transcends playlists.  


“Flushing-born, punk-sparked, country-steeped roots-rocker. Best of 2021” - Robert Christgau

“Duff’s gritty mix of desire and desperation can be found at every turn, a sound seemingly inspired by the unsettled state of a covid-conflicted world.”- American Songwriter

“One Part Muscle Shoals, One Part Patti Smith” - Rolling Stone

“A roadhouse punk rocker — The Clash meets Jerry Lee Lewis” - No Depression

Emily reminds me of some of the great earthy, big-voiced roots singers I loved in the 1970’s— Tracy Nelson, Marcia Ball and more. She borrows from that blues and roots tradition but makes it her very own with her sensitive and personal lyrics.” - Rosanne Cash

Most of these songs are collaborations with Steve Kirkman and other musician friends of ours.  Steve lays down the guitar track in his studio, and then sends it me. I add drum tracks in my studio and pass it along.
