Billy and Emily

Genre: Indie Folk

Stalwarts of the Southeast Michigan folk music community, indie folk duo Billy & Emily have performed across the Midwest for many years. Their musical talents range from guitar, banjo, mandolin, and keyboards for Billy King to classical violin, jazz and folk fiddle styles, and guitar for Emily Slomovits. King has been performing since childhood and now helps run his family’s beloved Frog Holler Farm, where he co-founded its annual music festival, Holler Fest. Slomovits has been performing from a young age, too, playing with her father and uncle in the treasured Ann Arbor duo Gemini since the age of eight. For Billy & Emily performances, the two blend their melodically compelling original music with vibrant covers of songs by Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and the Beatles, among others. Experience their lovely vocal harmonies, imaginative perspective, and prowess on multiple instruments live at A2SF this summer.
