Episode 34: Emerson Day

This week on Hitting The Road, we sit down with Emerson Day, a soulful singer-songwriter whose story beautifully reflects the good news we celebrate during the Christmas season.

Emerson shares how her love for music and storytelling began at a young age on her family’s farm in Southern Maryland, shaped by faith, southern rock influences, and the sounds of an old church piano. Though she was once on a path toward federal law enforcement as a decorated collegiate lacrosse player, God clearly redirected her calling toward music.

In this episode, Emerson opens up about the defining moments that solidified her passion for Christian music—especially leading worship and witnessing lives changed in real time. We talk about her journey to signing with Fair Trade Services, her debut on Micah Tyler’s “People Like Us,” her EP God Ain’t Finished Yet, and her powerful single “Get Behind Me,” a bold reminder of spiritual authority and trust in God.

This conversation centers on hope, obedience, and the life-changing message of Jesus—the same good news that continues to transform hearts today.
