Saturday, Jan. 16 at 7:30 PM: Emily Nyman: Piano, guitar and amazing vocals!
Nyman performs an eclectic mix of originals and cover tunes, including singer-songwriter, folk, and classic rock, with a sprinkling of blues, country and old standards, appealing to audiences of all ages and musical tastes. David Rodgers of the Hardwick Gazette said Nyman has “a pure and beautiful voice, effortlessly right on every note, combined with an immediately engaging personal presence. Her repertoire of cover and original songs has fine melodies and meaningful, poetic lyrics.”
Emily Nyman, with her guitar, piano and songwriting, has entertained audiences from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont to the Jersey shore.
While interning as a Guidance Counselor, Emily met Lynn Berry, Guidance Counselor, Artist, and published poet. When Lynn shared her poems and Emily shared her music, a songwriting team was born. Since then, they have written many songs and released several CDs. On many occasions, Lynn joins her, adding guitar and the lyricist perspective. Emily and Lynn have been featured songwriters in "Out in Jersey" and "Boston Spirit" Magazine and received recognition for "Give Me a Dream" and "ShadowTime" from the Eventide Arts Songfest. "My Youth" was selected for inclusion on a compilation CD to raise funds for Prevent Child Abuse Vermont (Area Code 802 Project). "Give Me a Dream" has been included on a CD entitled "Until You Come Home" which honors servicemen and women. "I Hear on the Streets" and "Poet-Painter" were donated to the CD "I Hear on the Streets" to raise funds for a NYC shelter which provides basic survival resources to homeless youth.
This past year Emily retired from her full time Guidance job, ending a 25 year "gig" at North Country Union Junior High School. She now works two days per week at Glover Community School, enriching Guidance lessons and school climate with her music. Emily is also an instructor at the Community College of Vermont in Newport, offering Guitar, Piano, and Music Appreciation classes. Emily and Lynn also conduct songwriting workshops in area schools and at the National Teacher’s Association convention.
