EMI SUNSHINE AND THE RAIN
with special guest Chelsea Berry
Live at The OPEN CHORD | 8205 Kingston Pike | Bearden
Friday July 16, 8pm
Rolling Stone once named 15-year-old EmiSunshine among “10 new country artists you need to know.” There is no better way than to get to know this young singer/songwriter than experiencing her latest release, “Family Wars.”
“Family Wars” is EmiSunshine and The Rain’s most personal project to date. With ten songs and one bonus track, the album addresses domestic violence, dysfunctional families, political corruption, mass murder, lost love, and freedom—those who have it, and those who seek it.
“The album is about working through different types of conflicts,” Emi says. “I’m just voicing my opinion about what I see going on in the world, but hopefully in a way that won’t offend. I’m looking at problems and trying to make something beautiful out of them.”
Emi has been attracting national attention since the age of nine, with appearances on “The Today Show,” NBC’s “Little Big Shots,” “Pickler & Ben,” the Grand Ole Opry and elsewhere. In 2018, she was featured in the Grammy-nominated Elvis Presley documentary film “The King,” alongside Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Ashton Kutcher, Alec Baldwin and other stars.
On March 21 and 22, 2021, EmiSunshine appeared on American Idol, performing the Johnny Cash song "I Walk the Line" as a duet with fellow contestant Alex Miller, a 17-year-old singer from Kentucky. ... EmiSunshine performs about 150 shows a year across the country.

And joining EMI as the opening act is Singer-songwriter, Chelsea Berry.
She has always kept faith, family and country music close to her heart. This Maryville, Tennessee, native grew up singing in her church choir, but never imagined embracing the bright lights of stardom. However, that all changed when a Sunday church solo left everyone in tears. Now, this 30-year-old couldn’t imagine her life without country music at the helm.
"Growing up I was surrounded by a world of music which exposed me to different genres. I have been fortunate to work with so many wonderful artists, teachers, and musicians. This growing process has allowed me to find my true voice and unique style." Chelsea proudly states.
At this time, Chelsea's goal is to continue writing and sharing her original songs in person with more opportunities to come in 2021! She has always had a dream and desire to make a difference and impact people with the music she writes and sings. A true artist to watch in the future. Learn more: https://cityviewmag.com/fear-not/
