Music Health Alliance announces “An Evening with Emily West” at
the Franklin Theatre on November 8, 2014 at 7:00pm. Doors open at
6:00pm. This is her first live performance since stealing the hearts
of America on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Emily is coming home to
heal the music through this one-night only performance benefiting
Music Health Alliance. “I am so thrilled to be coming home to
support an organization that helps so many of my own friends within
the music community,” says Emily West. Singer-songwriter Emily West
moved to Nashville at age 18 and had some success as a country music
artist. But a few months ago, she wanted a clean slate, so she sold
her car, packed her bags for New York City and never looked back.
Emily's dream is to have a one-woman show that tells stories through
her songs. Her music inspirations include Judy Garland, Patsy Cline,
Rufus Wainwright and Antony and the Johnsons. Most recently, Emily was
first runner-up on America’s Got Talent showcasing some of the songs
she will perform at The Franklin Theatre. “Emily’s story is our
story,” says Tatum Hauck Allsep, Founder/Executive Director for MHA.
“We are honored for her to join our mission to heal the music.”
Music Health Alliance has secured over $4.2 million dollars in
