Hurt and Skip’s Album Release Party for their new album “Be Yourself” is Friday September 12th from 5:45 -9 pm at Fireforge! Emerson Woolf will get the party started from 5:45-6:45 pm & Hurt & Skip will perform from 7-9 pm. Vinyl copies of the new album will be available for purchase. Hurt & Skip is a blues project from Shane Pruitt, Joe Power and Jason Phillips. The band combines Mississippi hill country blues with tribal and native polyrhythms. This combination of the old with the new transcends genre.

Emerson Woolf is a New Jersey-based songwriter whose sound blurs the line between Americana and indie. With lyrics that explore love, the comedy of life and the search for belonging, her performance is both emotive and highly energetic. Best known as the front woman of Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones, she brings the same intimate storytelling and sharp lyricism to the stage on her own—offering a stripped-back but no less powerful version of the songs that have been turning heads since the band’s debut EP Not a Good Woman.
