Listeners of all kinds can’t seem to resist the songwriting prowess and vocal alchemy of the trio made up of Singer/Songwriters Emily Colombier, Jessica Rotter and Sarah Margaret Huff. “Bury It” combines a lot of their own experiences and those of people in their lives who have had to hide who they are to fit in or be comfortable existing in their surroundings – it’s a reflection on being true to oneself and the consequence of repressing pain and ignoring inner truth.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jemstheband/TikTok: http://tiktok.com/jemsthebandWe are humbled to have a community of creatives that care so deeply about what we’re doing.
