Salt Lick Incubator - Tonina, Chance Emerson and Micah Edwards @ The Umbrella

Friday, November 22, 2024 – 7:30pm The Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, MA welcomes 3 future-favorite emerging music acts up-and-coming through the Salt Lick Incubator program: Tonina, Chance Emerson, and Micah Edwards. Tonina is a St. Louis-raised, Brooklyn-based vocalist, bassist and writer who brings a rich blend of Jazz, Folk , and Latin boleros into her music, deeply influenced by their Sicilian and Black heritage and passion for storytelling. Her artistry spans singing, bass playing and songwriting creating an innovative sound that blends tradition with contemporary edge. As a songwriter, Chance Emerson doesn’t observe and report. He lives and responds, mining his unique experiences growing up between Hong Kong and Maine to forge his compelling brand of melodic folk-rock. A descendant of the essayist and transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, Chance is the son of a Taiwanese mother and American father. When he decided to move across the world to Providence, Rhode Island to pursue his studies, it didn’t take long before a growing passion for singing and writing his own songs overtook his original trajectory. He began performing up and down the Northeast corridor, headlining clubs to fervent followers and supporting established acts such as Johnnyswim, Brett Dennen, Eli Young Band, Lawrence, Ripe, Blues Traveler, and Nancy Wilson’s Heart. Micah Edwards emerges as a luminary in the contemporary music scene, blending soulful melodies with profound lyricism garnished with a buttery twang. On his much anticipated new project, he drives a stake in the ground solidifying himself squarely as: Mr. Texas Soul. On October 26, the three artists were featured on WERS Radio’s Salt Lick Sessions (<a href="https://wers.org/listenagain/">https://wers.org/listenagain/</a>) and they will appear together for the first time at The Umbrella on Fridfay November 22, expanding the new concert partnership that began in October 2023 with the inaugural Salt Lick performance featuring Julia Pratt, Alisa Amador, and Tiny Habits, headlined by Brandi Carlile.
