This Woman’s Work: Emily White & Ali Marcus

For this month’s ‘This Woman’s Work,’ I’ve decided to feature two very talented women.

Emily White is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter whose honest songwriting has earned her comparisons to artists including Jonatha Brooke and Lisa Loeb among others and has allowed her to perform across the nation.

Her debut EP, Every Pulse, released last year, showcases White’s remarkable talents as a raw, soul-bearing musician whose songs echo of the honesty and roots of Ani DiFranco’s earlier work.

Seattle-based songwriter Ali Marcus has a decided to take a very admirable approach to her music and how it’s distributed. Available completely free on her web site, a listener is warmly invited to download and share all twelve of Marcus’ intensely personal songs collected under the name Matchbooks, Diamonds, Mixtapes.

Marcus’ songs are delicate and sweet, lyrically rich and full of charm. Each one laced with her accomplished guitar strumming and her innocent whisper.

Womenfolk is proud to introduce the eighth and ninth in its This Woman’s Work series with the inclusion of Emily White and Ali Marcus.
