Life In The Moment

Emily Singleton, thanks to her childhood in Middle Tennessee, has been surrounded by the traditional music of the southeast region all her life and by her early twenties spent most weekends with her father's old-time string band at either a bluegrass festival or jamming on the sidewalk in Bell Buckle, TN. Dave Higgs has been actively involved in the world of bluegrass for the last twenty-five years as the host of the syndicated radio program Bluegrass Breakdown, though his musical tastes and abilities reach into the broader world of acoustic music. In recent years, Emily met and married Dave and the two realized they share the same musical vision; a fusion of many different traditional styles to create a contemporary sound. The collaboration creates the unique sound of Emily Singleton and the Cumberland Plateau.
