I first discovered American violinist, violist and singer-songwriter Emma Bieniewicz last year, and I’ve been craving more from her ever since!

By Jane Howkins

Tobacco is another beautiful song from Emma – it’s quite stripped down, mixing together elements of folk and country music into one fantastic package. A slide guitar plays along in the background, but it’s used a little differently than you might normally expect from a country tune. The strings play both the rhythm and other melodies, adding a unique sense of melody to the piece. If that sounds good (and it should!), you can check out Tobacco for yourselves below.
