Fountain City Presbyterian Church welcomes Emily Ann Roberts for a special worship service on Sunday, October 29, 10:30-11:30 a.m. at 500 Hotel Avenue. The free event will be a morning filled with music, stories and scripture.
Emily Ann Roberts has paid her dues from tiny stages in Knoxville to the biggest stage of all, the Grand Ole Opry. Since launching her career, Roberts has now played the coveted Opry stage 17 times. Before she’d even graduated from high school, Emily Ann made a name for herself on Blake Shelton’s team as runner-up on Season 9 of The Voice. Roberts has now racked up more than 35 million streams and was recently named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s Best Acts of the CMA Fest.
Growing up in East Tennessee, Emily Ann was raised on Smoky Mountain music, bluegrass players and country artists from every era: Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton to Miranda Lambert and Cody Johnson.
All of this has prepared her to bring the country back to country music and that’s exactly what she’s doing on her debut full-length record, Can’t Hide Country, which is out now. Recorded at Starstruck Studios in Nashville and produced by Grammy-winner Trent Willmon, Emily Ann’s honest and captivating lyrics, along with her exceptional vocal talents, have already received widespread acclaim from both the media and her dedicated fanbase.
Join Emily Ann Roberts and Fountain City Presbyterian as Emily Ann shares her worship music with the community this Sunday morning!
