SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This Independence Day the country will cherish the release of Emily Tessmer’s independently produced album “Luminarium”. The songs on her second solo release prove the singer and songwriter has freed herself from the prevailing music industry. “Luminarium” reflects a heartfelt and honest singer that writes every word based on her passion for love and humanity.

“Luminarium” features the production of Erik Eldenius, LA Music Awards nominee for album of the year, Mathew Ross, “The One Thing”, and the exquisite musicianship of Toshi Yanagi (Jimmy Kimmel), Jorgen Arlsson (Low Millions), Evan Frankfort (Pete Yorn) and many others. “I had the gift of working with some of the most talented musicians and writing and recording “Luminarium” was the birth of a very magical experience,” Emily said.

Raised in San Diego, California, Tessmer’s career began in her late teens with her first rock band American Myth. Myth’s debut record, mixed and engineered by Noel Golden, (Matchbox Twenty and Edwin Mccain), garnered the attention of the L.A. music executives. A relationship with a MCA AR representative responsible for discovering such bands as Blink 182, blossomed only to collapse under corporate politics leaving Tessmer without a record company. Following the heartbreak of the MCA loss Emily moved into the softer sweeter side of her music writing about what she believes in most love, spirituality, and self discovery.

Prior to her solo accomplishments Emily headlined at the Veenhoop Festival, played Los Angeles’s Troubadour, and opened for diverse artists including Gilby Clarke (Supernova), and Blue Oyster Cult. She has sung the National Anthem for the San Diego Padres and performs every year at her hometown Del Mar Fair. This summer Emily can be seen at some of Northern California’s greatest spots like the Village at Squaw Valley.

Luminarium is available online at cdbaby and itunes.
