“Emily Springsteen is a talented vocalist and musician. Key West’s resident Hippie chick sings beautifully and with soul. She mixes a nice blend of classics from Janis Joplin to The Grateful Dead in her live sets.”

I didn’t know I could make a life out of singing and playing guitar until my friends pulled me off the docks and stuck me behind a microphone at Hogfish Bar in Key West, Florida, in 2013. Six years later, I’d played over 50 venues in the Lower Florida Keys. My earthy style and eclectic song selections have prompted comparisons from Tom Waits to Joni Mitchell. Generally catering to easy-going afternoon tiki bars & dinner crowds, a typical set might range from Billie Holiday to The Grateful Dead. Being blessed, I’m working for a Higher Purpose, and I hope to exude peace, love, & light!
Family reasons & a Higher Calling brought me to the Panama City, FL area in 2019. While resettling into a new music scene amidst the era of Covid, I focused on writing original music. You can find my songs, “The Ten Cent Bottle Law” and “Stop Seismic Blasting!” on YouTube, or add me to your playlist on your favorite online music streaming service! |

“Emily Springsteen is…delighting audiences wherever she plays. In a relatively short time, Emily has become one of the busiest musicians in Key West.”

GALLERY OF GIGS
Over the years in the Florida Keys, just a few of my regular venues were in Marathon, FL at: Blue Waters at Courtyard Marriott; Lighthouse Grill / Faro Blanco Resort Yacht Club; and The Hammocks at Bluegreen Resort; and in Key West at the Sunset Tiki Bar / Galleon Resort, among many other places. From 2015-16, in conjunction with 104.9 the X Key West FM Radio, I hosted weekly open jam sessions at the former Shrimp Rd. Grill, Key West. Pulling from my Michigan State University outreach degree, I align myself with environmental and humanitarian causes. Several Florida Keys M.O.T.E. Marine Ocean Fests included me in their lineup, and I perform each Earth Day at the Key West Theater with Gary Hempsey’s “That Hippie Band,” a Key West group of Woodstock-era troubadours. Finally, I’ve had the privilege of performing for several wedding ceremonies & receptions (by land & by sea!)

GROUPS
That Hippie Band:
That Hippie Band with Gary Hempsey and friends has included Russ Scavelli, Pete Jarvis, Greg "G Man" Shanle, Tom Conger, Will Hoppey, Emily Springsteen, and recently departed and dearly missed Terry Wetmore.
The group's roots are in the old Woodstock type of music and they jam to it all -- Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Crosby, Stills and Nash. When these guys get together harmony and mayhem are the only constants. With no set playlist they free flow and let it all just happen, unscripted with entertaining audience participation! Catch them at the Key West Theater or Coffee Butler Amphitheater for their annual Earth Day Celebration!

The Springsteens: Will, Pat, & Emily
They grew up singing along with family to their dads' guitar playing. In college, they jammed together on their first Martin Guitars, picking up skills from each other. They were three of many family members who studied under the same vocal coach, Martin Bell (described as, "not a Muggle!") in St. Ignace, MI. Now, from opposite corners of the country, there's nothing like getting the family together to fall back into their well-known groove! Once or twice a year, Emily joins forces with her cousins, The Springsteen Brothers - Pat & Will. You might catch them at a show anywhere from the Florida Keys to Northern Michigan - that is, if you can pull them away from the camp fire!
You can find "The Springsteen Brothers" on Facebook.
