CMA FEST: MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE HER WITH HEADLINING STATION INN SHOW AND FREE PERFORMANCE AT THE HARD ROCK STAGE
Following her most recent fiery release about a scorned woman, country singer/songwriter Emily Ann Roberts is showing her fans another side of her with her new song, “Infinity” available everywhere now. Listen HERE.
Written about her high school sweetheart-turned-husband Chris, Emily Ann writes about how she knew in her heart that he was the person she wanted to marry, telling her co-writer Stephanie Chapman “Forever doesn’t seem like long enough to love him.”
Oh infinity won’t be enough for me
I need a guarantee I got you for eternity
and when life is done the stars go on and on and on so
Darlin’ why can’t we just have infinity
“This was the first time Stephanie and I were writing one on one. It was just us, and right away we started with girl talk. She asked me if I had a boyfriend. I said yes. She asked, ‘Well, is he the one?’ When I told her he was, she wanted to know how I knew. I said that forever doesn’t seem like long enough to love him. And from there, this song came to us. I sang it for my sister’s first dance at her wedding, then at mine, the string quartet played this for me to walk down the aisle. My husband is so humble, but he was definitely the inspiration. We met in Spanish class in high school and we’ve been together ever since. He is such a steady force in my life. He truly is my better half and my best friend. When you find your person, forever just doesn’t feel like long enough.”
Emily Ann’s previous release “He Set Her Off” has accumulated nearly two million streams while earning widespread critical praise from PEOPLE, American Songwriter, Country Now and others. You can watch the brilliantly over-the-top official music video HERE.

About Emily Ann Roberts
They say the way to the biggest stage is practice, practice, practice. And that’s exactly what Emily Ann Roberts has done, paying 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 16 times. Before that, she made a name for herself on Blake Shelton’s team on The Voice before she’d even graduated from high school. In a way, being named as a runner-up was the biggest win of all. Because now, with all of that performing, songwriting and recording experience, Roberts has already racked up more than 19 million streams and was named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s Best Acts of CMA Fest. Growing up in East Tennessee, Roberts was raised on Smoky Mountain music, bluegrass players, and country artists from every era: from Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton to Miranda Lambert and Cody Johnson. And all of that has prepared her to bring the country back to country music. Working with producer Trent Willmon means she’s collaborating with some of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters. So now, Roberts finds herself surrounded by people who are like-minded about making country music that will make its mark in the studio and on the stage. “I am passionate about entertaining. I do love singing, and songwriting has become a means to an end for me. I write so that I can take those songs and perform them, not the other way around.” With that, it’s safe to say that country music is in good hands with Roberts.
