EMILY COYLE: PIANO, VOCALS
GRANT STAINES: GUITAR

“Musical sophistication, individuality, diversity and a touch of simplicity all tastefully infused into an impressive whole. By the third play through … I was hooked” feature track review, bandcamp; so reads an early review of ‘Turning Around’; the latest release from EMILY GRANT; the unlikely but formidable duo of classically trained pianist Emily Coyle (piano, vocals) and rock loving guitarist Grant Staines.

Engineered by the award winning team of Kieran Kenderessy (“Birds of Toyko”) and King Willy (Goyte, Emma Louise), this latest release consolidates EMILY GRANT’s reputation for conjuring up magical and compelling songs through an evocative libretti underpinned by an “eclectic, complex yet accessible style which effortlessly mixes elements of classical, funk, blues, rock, pop and jazz” X-press magazine. The diversity of their musical influences is evidenced not only through their compositions, but by the variety of stages these two artists have graced (from the Sydney Opera house to the Edinburgh Fringe) and the breadth of their musical collaborations which bends from Jazz alumni such as Helen Matthews to electronica artists of London’s dance music kingdom “Ministry of Sound’.  

Having returned from a 2014 summer tour of New York, Paris and Berlin EMILY GRANT are launching their EP in Australia, with premier concerts t at the PARIS CAT Jazz club (Melbourne) and the ELLINGTON JAZZ CLUB in December 2014.  Don’t be fooled by the stripped back musical resources of this ensemble, as witnessing Staines’ “buckley-esque guitar work” X-PRESS MAGAZINE and Coyle’s ‘soaring vocals’ HYPE MAGAZINE alongside her ivory pounding skill at the piano will leave you wondering if you haven’t just spent a night at the symphony.
