The Nine (Original Score)
Writing and recording the music for The Nine was uniquely satisfying: I got to draw on my musical background as a songwriter, guitarist, rock drummer, and composer. Working with director, photographer Katy Grannan – a gifted and uncompromising artist – was truly inspiring.

Song of Love
On his third album, Steven Emerson strips things down to the bare essentials, often hanging his delicately disarming folk-pop tunes on nothing but his breathy, Donovan-dreaming-of-Nick Drake croon and his poignantly picked acoustic guitar lines. Song of Love is the sound of a man whose soul has some miles on it, as he pauses on his journey long enough to impart a few artfully phrased observations on The Big Topics – love, loss, memory, and hope.

Set in Motion
Bay Area recording artist Steven Emerson’s album Set In Motion – produced by Tori Amos bassist Jon Evans – blends early 70s soul with 60s cool-school jazz. Emerson’s quietly seductive voice is perfectly complimented by luscious strings, gospel backing vocals and funky horns, to set a mood that recalls Al Green and Chet Baker in its intimacy and immediacy.
