John Emil, an accomplished singer/songwriter, guitarist, and master of slide guitar has delivered show-stopping performances at major music festivals like the Telluride Blues Festival, the Leek Blues & Americana Festival UK, the Florida Folk Festivals and support act for The Steep Canyon Rangers. Fans hear haunting, subtle hints of Delta bluesmen Son House and Blind Willie Johnson, but Emil ultimately creates a unique style all his own by integrating blues, folk and bluegrass sounds into his repertoire.

John has composed a wealth of slide guitar tracks for media production libraries. Among the many television and cable network shows John Emil has supplied music for NBC’s Dateline, The Voice, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, American Pickers, and several international wildlife and nature documentaries.
