SECRET EMCHY SOCIETY Gets THE BOOT: Top 10 Queer Country

September 2, 2017 by 1888media

Led by folk-punk, singer-songwriter Cindy Emch, the Secret Emchy Society “play foot-stompin’, heart-breakin’ Americana music about good friends and hard times. Their music is deeply personal, fearless and passionate and pairs well with both whiskey and hitting the streets. Sweet and warm, with just enough of a burn. Cindy’s voice is by turns low and sultry, bluesy and ballsy.”

On their recently released debut album The Stars Fall Shooting Into Twangsville, the Secret Emchy Society echo a variety of vintage styles, from rowdy honky tonk to vulnerable ballads, with broad swaths of zydeco, country and cabaret tossed in for good measure that will appeal to fans of June Carter Cash, Lydia Loveless, Neko Case, Shovels & Rope, Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner.

With accolades pouring in from No Depression, Now This Sound Is Brave, The Alternate Root, Yahoo! Music and Huffington Post, country music powerhouse The Boot recently recognized the Secret Emchy Society as one of the Top 10 Queer Country Artists Country Music Fans Should Know. See the whole list at The Boot.
