About

Emily Joy is a country singer for hire in Perth, WA.

Country pop with sequins on. Emily Joy is a WAAPA and Berklee graduate whose single Barricade took her into the Toyota Star Maker grand final, and she's played stages from Perth to London and Nashville to Tamworth. Bookings come as a duo, trio or full band, and the shape of the night can change with it: a quiet acoustic set first, then the electric show once people are ready to move. The songbook leans on Johnny Cash, Creedence, Nancy Sinatra, ABBA, Crowded House and Cyndi Lauper. Outdoors she'll want power, shade and drinking water. Public liability insurance is held.

The show

Think hoedown rather than hoedown-themed. Emily Joy trades in country pop with plenty of sass and storytelling in it, and the stage presence has been earned in front of real crowds from Perth to London and Nashville to Tamworth. She came out of WAAPA and Berklee, and her single Barricade carried her into the Toyota Star Maker grand final, followed by a West Australian Country Music Award and a tour with Adam Brand. In 2024 she took the main stage at The Muster alongside Morgan Evans and Travis Collins, then released the ballad A Little Part of Me and gave her first nationally televised performance on Telethon. She averages more than a hundred shows a year, and it shows in the delivery.

On the day

Short list, this one. A power source is the main thing. If the performance is outdoors, drinking water and some shade need sorting as well, which matters a lot more at a summer afternoon function than people tend to plan for. Sort those three and the rest takes care of itself.

Performance options

Bookings come as a solo, a duo, a trio or a full band, so the same songbook fits a small reception or a festival stage. Wedding packages are available and get built around your day rather than fixed in advance. That flexibility is useful when a wedding wants something quiet during the ceremony and drinks, then the full electric line-up once the dancing starts. Mention what you're planning in the enquiry and the right size gets recommended.
