The Emily Chambers Band is a fun, energetic, and original Vancouver band. Incorporating funk, soul, R&B and pop, they have a fresh, unique sound that focuses on the engaging presence of lead vocalist, Emily Chambers.
Emily Chambers is a dynamic vocalist with a sultry tone and a powerhouse range. With a love for classic soul and R&B, she combines an old school Motown vibe with hints of hip hop and a little bit of Southern grit, to give you a fresh sound that hits you in the gut.
After attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, Emily took to the streets of Europe busking her way across the South of France and Italy; it was there that she began to hone the voice that commands attention. Emily is in love with what she does, and it radiates to every corner of the room when she performs in our Lobby Lounge!
