Recent Belmont graduate Emma Mowery was the opening act at a recent WFNM showcase night at Bar Lubitsch. Her set was a tender singer-songwriter set with Neta Rozenblat (wrote a Song Spotlight of his song "Blood and Ink" back in September, which you can read here) accompanying her on acoustic guitar. Out in the audience, her mom and friends were filming the moment.

Comment of the set: I don't have a real job so I don't know what day it is.
Other comment of the set with her mom in the audience: I don't do drugs.
Per her Spotify bio, Mowery's music fits in "the venn diagram of pop-punk and singer-songwriter." For her set, both Mowery and Rozenblat sat on stools for an acoustic set. When she came to her recent release "parasite," she described the recorded version of the song as being a "rock, bad ass" tune. The set-up of the performance gave the tune a singer-songwriter spin. The set was so enjoyable that I'm looking forward to catching a full band set where she can veer into her pop-punk attitude.
Her songs were about past relationships that did not work out all that well. Her song "cycle" is about dating someone who doesn't want to have a relationship.

The Song Spotlight would have gone to "fought more." At the time of the set, it was her next song release, which I believe is scheduled for January 2027. The song is about a person who couldn't "love me the way that I needed them to and I ended up leaving and it really sucked, because 'you' could have been perfect but I wish you had fought more for me and for us."
I watched you grow
You left me alone
As that song has not been released yet, an excellent replacement Song Spotlight is the bad ass "parasite," which is about that boyfriend with a dependency problem: keeping you alive is killing me.
