Emarosa is the post-hardcore emanating from Lexington, Kentucky that has survived despite changes in sound and major alterations in the lineup. Now, Emarosa has Jonny Craig as the lead singer, ER White as the lead guitarist, Will Sowers as the bassist, Lukas Koszewski as the drummer, Jordan Stewart as the keyboard, and Jonas Ladekjaer as another guitarist and working the programming. Emarosa tickets will be selling as they head out on tour to promote their self-titled album at concerts around the nation.
This group began in Lexington when keyboardist Jordan Stewart chose the dream of making it big with a brand new band over a full scholarship. Emarosa emerged as a punk band with five musicians. That band changed a year later when Jonny Craig came in as the lead singer. When Craig came, the band began its myriad of changes and it all began with a scaled back approach to the vocals, with far more singing and much less screaming.
