Accomplished Americana fiddler and singer-songwriter, Emerald Butler, engages audiences with a performance that draws from influences like Bob Wills’ fiddle strutting and Loretta Lynn’s feisty lyrics to create her own style of Americana Music. Raised in the hills of Sale Creek, Tennessee, Emerald began fiddling with local bands and pickers at the age of 12. In 2018, Emerald graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a bachelor's in Music Business while also interning at independent roots label Compass Records. After college, Emerald began gaining real-life experience on the road with piano-rockin' Jason D. Williams and hit songwriter Roger Alan Wade. She has worked and performed with a plethora of Bluegrass and Country artists, including Rhonda Vincent, Randy Travis, and Larry Fleet. In 2020, Emerald independently released her self-titled EP consisting of original songs that paint pictures of nostalgia, independence, and individuality. Her latest project, recorded at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, is anticipated to be released in early 2026.
