Emily Sprague is the songwriter and singer of the band Florist, which was formed in the Catskill Mountains of New York. For 15 years, Sprague has been exploring emotional and mystical inner worlds through her songwriting. As Florist, she creates vulnerable and unconventional folk-pop songs that aim to provide a sense of calm amidst life's chaos.
In 2019, Sprague released Florist’s third official album, Emily Alone, a solo record reflecting on the spaces and journeys of growth experienced during solitary times. This was followed by the self-titled Florist in 2022—a full-band, hour-long celebration of a decade of collaboration. Both Emily and Florist are committed to acknowledging and honoring the natural world, highlighting the beauty and phenomena of Earth, the universe, and the human experience. Her music is characterized by a quiet sensitivity that addresses both difficult and joyful themes simultaneously.
Emily is enthusiastic about performing in Australia in 2024 and will be playing songs from Florist’s entire discography, including new and unreleased material.

"Florist’s Emily Sprague is no stranger to imbuing her songs with a certain transcendental nature." - Consequence
"A tender rumination on love, loss, and the natural world." - Uproxx
Emily Sprague is the songwriter and singer of the band Florist, formed in the Catskill Mountains of New York where Emily grew up and currently resides. For 15 years Sprague has been observing emotional and mystical inner worlds through songwriting. As Florist she documents life through vulnerable and at times unconventional folk-pop songs that aim to offer a sense of calm within the chaos of existence. In 2019 Sprague made Florist’s 3rd official release, Emily Alone, a solo record about the spaces and the journeys of growth that one enters in solitary times. The follow up to that record was 2022’s self-titled Florist, a full band, hour long celebration of a decade of collaboration. Both Emily and Florist are deeply rooted in acknowledging and honoring the natural world, the beauty and phenomenons of earth, the universe, and of human experience. The music that Emily makes is quiet and sensitive all while head first confronting both the most difficult and the most joyful things, usually in the same breath. Emily is very excited to perform in Australia in 2024 and will be playing songs from all of Florist’s discography including some new and unreleased material!
