Florist (solo) at Phoenix Central Park

Emily Sprague is the songwriter and singer of the band Florist, formed in the Catskill Mountains of New York where Emily grew up and currently resides.

For 15 years Sprague has been observing emotional and mystical inner worlds through songwriting. As Florist she documents life through vulnerable and at times unconventional folk-pop songs that aim to offer a sense of calm within the chaos of existence.

In 2019 Sprague made Florist’s 3rd official release, Emily Alone, a solo record about the spaces and the journeys of growth that one enters in solitary times. The follow up to that record was 2022’s self-titled Florist, a full band, hour long celebration of a decade of collaboration.

Both Emily and Florist are deeply rooted in acknowledging and honoring the natural world, the beauty and phenomenons of earth, the universe, and of human experience. The music that Emily makes is quiet and sensitive all while head first confronting both the most difficult and the most joyful things, usually in the same breath.
