The Early Years

Los Angeles based singer/songwriter, Emrys Hanley, was born to play music. As a baby, his mother sang him to sleep playing her acoustic guitar. As a toddler, he walked around with headphones on his ears all day telling people, "This is my favorite part." At age 10, his aunt took him to a Donovan concert. She dressed him up in a red velvet cape and love beads and fluffed up his curly hair into an afro. After the show, Emrys got to hang out with Donovan. The experience inspired Emrys so much that he began teaching himself how to play guitar.

Genre

The album--titled Emrys--incorporates elements of folk, classic rock, reggae, gospel, soul, and country.
