Businesses and community groups across Western Canada are discovering the hidden gem that is Emma Rouleau. Your guests may have enjoyed a jazz vocalist in the past, but they’ve likely never had the experience they will with Emma & her ukulele - the perfect combination of elegant and whimsical.

Emma's Show

In addition to providing an elegant musical backdrop, Emma’s endearing, down-to-earth personality shines through her performance, and she forms an intimate connection with her audience using a simple glance while delivering a soulful expression of a lyric.

Her song selection includes jazz, folk, singer-songwriter, pop, bluegrass, some originals, and some truly unique covers. She has a wonderful talent for taking a classic song that people love and putting her own unique spin on it, often performing songs that no-one would have expected from a ‘jazzy-ukelele girl’.

She has tailored her show for easy-listening background music, romantic themes, Christmas events, upbeat parties, and even a James Bond theme.

Let Emma enhance your next event in a wonderfully original way, bringing a unique touch of class to you and your guests.

“I had the pleasure of hiring Emma Rouleau on three separate occasions for private functions I held for business clients over the past few years. Emma always showed up early ready to get to work, which I appreciated more than she’ll ever know. The soulfulness and true spirit of a singer-songwriter she possesses always had the ability to touch the audience in a way that a large band or DJ just could not hold a candle to.”

Zach Lowe - CEO, Blue Scholar Ventures Corp

“Our fundraising event was busy and bustling, but the room would become quiet when Emma took the floor. Her performance transfixed the audience as she commanded our attention, with quiet, soulful notes and haunting songs that swept you in.”
