The Minnesota Songbirds
This blog is about four amazing Female singers from Minnesota. Which is Vicky Emerson, Jillian Rae, Sarah Morris & Anne Fitzgerald, I like to call them The Minnesota Songbirds. They do a stream called “Thank You For Being A Friend”. This is a very entertaining, not only do they all take turns singing but they also chat about the songs. This is very cool to watch. These four ladies all have a distinctive sound, but at the same time they are not that far from each other. Which makes for an impressive foursome. There have been a few duets by a couple of them at times, but I am not sure if all four of them have ever sang together. The first of these very talented ladies I was introduced to was Vicky Emerson. I am not sure how I found out about Vicky; I believe it was thru YouTube. The first song I heard was “Long Ride” I was hooked. Vicky has such a beautiful voice that is easy to listen to. I have to admit that I love Vicky’s singing so much I bought her entire catalogue all at one time. Vicky’s vocals have such a smooth tone to it, and she sings her songs in such a manner that you get to feel what the song is saying. Vicky’s music style has a bit of Country feel to it plus some singer/songwriter sound. The next talented lady I was introduced to was Jillian Rae. Jillian to me has a vocal style that kind resembles the Pop/Folk era of the late 60’s & early 70’s. She has a rich tone to her voice with great control. No matter if Jillian is singing a slow song or a slight rocker, her vocals are always clear and defined with a pleasant sound. Next up is Sarah Morris. Sarah is not only an amazing singer, but an outstanding songwriter. Sarah style in my opinion is definitely a Singer-songwriter, which can hold a candle to some of the best like: James Taylor, Jim Croce, Plus many more. Also falls into the genres of Americana & Country. Sarah does a very cool stream “Toilet Tunes” where is has guest sing with her in her own bathroom. This is always entertaining. And Lastly is Anne Fitzgerald, Anne rounds out this foursome of amazing ladies with her enriching style of music. Which falls heavily in the Singer/songwriter genre. But I feel that she puts her own touch of feelings to each of her songs, by giving them a bit of a melodic sound to them. Anne is a very Spiritual person, and it shows in her music I think this is what drew me to her music. Like I said in the beginning of this blog, all of the ladies are very talented. But get them all four together and you not only have some beautiful music, but you have four Ladies that respect each other. This is why I truly enjoy watching their Live Stream “Thank You For Being A Friend” which I believe will be returning in the spring. Now there are two things I would really like to see happen. One is that I could see The Minnesota Songbirds as I call them, all perform live together. Second thing is that they put an album out as “The Minnesota Songbirds”. I know that some have helped out one another’s solo albums. I have done a story on each of these talented ladies in my Blog, feel free to read those to learn more. Also, I have put each of their website links below. So, in closing I highly recommend checking out each Ladies music and hope someday we will be listening to an album from “The Minnesota Songbird”. https://vickyemerson.com/home https://www.jillianraemusic.com/ https://sarahmorrismusic.com/ https://www.anniefitzgerald.com/
