“Smartly orchestrated pop music with a bit of a dramatic flare. Think Wainwright and Sufjan. A band to watch.” L Magazine

If you haven’t already been introduced to Brooklyn-based band, Emanuel and the Fear, then you are in for a treat. Emanuel and the Fear are a ten piece rock band/orchestra consisting of members that have played/toured with Sufjan Stevens, Spoon, Mars Volta, and The National to name a few. The group is a brilliant new approach to the modern rock band consistently capturing the audience with beautifully, intricate scores laced with eloquent, quivering vocals.

Representing the local scene Emanuel and the Fear have been invited to play two upcoming showcases and a 3-week residency in NYC. Don’t miss the band playing the Stranded in Stereo monthly showcase on June 18th at Club Rehab and the Jezebel Music band showcase on June 21st at The Delancey.
