Songs & Stories Podcast
All we ever do is make music, talk shit, and do fun things that lead to good stories. That's what the Emery culture is about. We love telling you band stories and even more, we love convincing your favorite artists to tell their stories... even the ones they probably shouldn't.
Join us each week to hear amazing stories from the road, Song Rescue (where we roast and improve listeners songs), the Damn News, and more!
This podcast and our music is supported and funded directly by Emeryland. Join us at emerymusic.com
