Like stumbling into a rose garden on a trek through the arctic, listeners of Emily Anderson’s music find themselves helplessly lifted into a world so hauntingly familiar, and yet so enchantingly curious. Alaska grown and Los Angeles based, Anderson’s single “Gold” was featured in a national Miller Lite campaign. Her songs have also been featured in TV (Love is Blind, Season 8) and video games (Calico, The Stars Between Us). Anderson has toured the US and Canada, sharing the stage with acclaimed artists like Alex Lahey, Sarah Tudzin, Danielle Ate the Sandwich, and Peter Mulvey. Praised for her “angelic voice” (Anchorage Press) and “natural harmonies and gorgeous orchestrations” (KUAC), Anderson continues to captivate audiences with her warm spirit and imaginative sound.
What the people say…
Whether you’re having a bad day or having one of the best days in a long time, Emily Anderson’s Simple Things will make it better. Harmonies that sound so natural and gorgeous orchestrations are at the heart of both the toe-tapping melodies and lyrical songwriting that pulls you into a story that you’ll want to experience again and again.

Emily Anderson’s music is pure and could serve as the soundtrack to awaken one’s spirit. It offers a bright light where there is darkness and exposes Anderson’s visionary world. ‘Simple Things’ delivers a variety of brightness and color. Anderson’s angelic voice ranges from energetic and playful on songs like “Space,” to soft and beautiful such as on the track “Window.”
– Robert Foran III, Anchorage Press
“Emily Anderson’s music shatters the imagery you might have of surviving the long dark winters while living in Fairbanks, AK. One might expect dark introspection or a songwriter who bites back at life, but the songs on ‘Simple Things’ are warm and emotive while holding a strong conviction that will keep you listening to these smartly written stories. Listener response has been strong and they want to know how to get the CD so they can hear more!”
