Emily used to play here in Pittsburgh often. I did sound for her a handful of times at festivals and she was a great talent, as well as a genuinely sweet person.

Emily died of a heart attack.Not heroin. Even if she was a user, it was still a heart attack - there has never been any evidence that heroin killed her. But I agree she was a fantastic player, truely one of the greats.
