Grove's style has been described as blending the 1970s sounds of Carole King with the "orchestrated texture of The Band" and John Prine. Her songs have been described as including elements of country and rock and roll blended with poetry. Regarding musical influences, Grove says that her parents listened to Johnny Cash, watched the country music stations, and listened to Americana music. Her mother loved Paul Simon, and she was named Emily named after the song "For Emily Whenever I May Find Her." Her father enjoyed the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. She was born on Jerry Garcia's birthday, which brought attention to the music of the Grateful Dead.
Discography
Her album, "Way Across the Sea" was produced by Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz). The title track, "Way Across The Sea," describes her crush on an unnamed rock and roll star. "Falling" is described as reminiscent of the styles of Carly Simon and Carole King. "Today" was inspired by a particularly long Sopranos marathon. "Flea," the first song Grove ever wrote, is a folk song based on a poem by John Donne, and is consistent with the style of artists like Jane Wiedlin and Alanis Morissette. The album ends with, "Procrastination," done in the style of Natalie Merchant.
Her second album, released in 2014, "Life of a Commoner", was produced by Jason Rubal of Seventh Wave Studio (Amanda Palmer). Her vocals on "Spider" have been compared to the vocals of both Annie Haslam and Dolores O'Riordan. "Scream" combines a Nicole Atkins sound with R.E.M. energy. "The Call" tells a Janis Ian-like story. "Johnny Lee" is done in the style of a Celtic love song.
