In recent years, Emily Wolfe has established herself as an electrifying blues-rock artist thanks to her incendiary live performances and fierce soloing capabilities. While gigging has been off the cards for the past year, she’s directed her creative energy in new directions and to spectacular effect – with the release of her second studio album, the genre-blending Outlier, and the launch of her first signature guitar, the Epiphone Sheraton ‘Stealth’.
The highest degree of recognition for a guitar player is surely to have their own signature instrument designed and made to their exacting specifications and it’s an accolade which, in her modest way, Emily is still coming to terms with: “I don’t think it’s sunk in yet,” she says. “And I don’t know if it ever will, because it is something that I’ve dreamed of having since I was little. I didn’t think that it would happen this early. It’s mainly just exciting and kind of mindblowing!”
The project came about after Emily was approached by Epiphone at NAMM following a live performance she and her band gave at the Gibson stand back in 2018. “I guess it was a good one,” she laughs. “Usually you have to be this kind of monster-like, your career has been happening for a thousand years. But it’s cool that Epiphone is starting to work with emerging artists for that kind of stuff.”
