New York City native Emily Mure has journeyed from playing concert halls as a classically trained oboist to busking as a singer-songwriter on the streets of Ireland. Her third album, Worth (releasing September 22), brings together all of her rich experiences as a musical traveler, spotlighting both her technical ability and gift for vulnerable, heartfelt songwriting.  Recorded last winter at Dimension Sound Studios in Jamaica Plain, Mass., Worth blends Mure's clear vocals with a variety of instruments – including strings, piano, organ, and ukulele.
