Her newest single, <em>Virginia I&#8217;m Home<\/em>, is an homage to the Old Dominion, its scenic vistas, and the welcoming feeling Emily has experienced here. <em>The Fairfax Girl<\/em> chatted with Emily about her career as a musician, her journey to Virginia, and what she finds so inspiring. <strong>Read on for more with singer-songwriter Emily Woodhull.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>About Emily<\/h3>\n<p>Even though music has been a constant throughout Emily Woodull\u2019s life, she didn\u2019t consider it a career until somewhat recently. Emily grew up in Capitol Hill, the fifth of six children. She started piano lessons at age 5 and guitar at age 11. \u201cMy dad was in a garage band and my first performance was \u2018opening\u2019 for him,\u201d she said. \u201cI was probably 13 or 14 at the time.\u201d From there, Emily went on to perform anywhere she could, such as open mic nights.<\/p>\n<p>Emily graduated high school from St. John&#8217;s College High School in 2019 and started college at James Madison University. &#8220;I thought I would be a teacher, and go back and teach at my high school,&#8221; she said.\u00a0 &#8220;I was inspired by the great teachers I had, and how they were able to connect with students. I wanted to connect with people like that.&#8221; She dropped out after two months, realizing she wasn\u2019t ready for college. While Emily&#8217;s time in Harrisonburg was short, it made a big impression on her. \u201cI loved being able to walk out of the dorms and see the mountains,\u201d she said. Emily fell in love with Virginia, and after a gap year back home in DC, she moved to Fredericksburg. &#8220;I really knew I was home here,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFad9AhRvWR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFad9AhRvWR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Emily Woodhull (@emilywoodhullmusic)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Throughout it all, Emily consistently posted videos of herself performing on Instagram. \u201cIt was me singing and playing piano, it was a lot of covers,\u201d she said. A video of Emily performing a cover of the Olivia Rodrigo song <em>Drivers License<\/em> caught the eye of a Nashville-based music scout in the spring of 2021. &#8220;The music was a way to connect with people,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2021, Emily signed a contract with a Nashville-based music development firm, and doubled down on her music. \u201cI started working with a vocal coach and a song-writing team,\u201d she said. After months of sending song title ideas back and forth, Emily went to Nashville in spring 2023 for an in-person writing and recording session. \u201cWe worked on eight songs and picked two to record,\u201d she said. \u201cOne of them was <em>Virginia I\u2019m Home<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Emily\u2019s Music<\/h3>\n<p><em>Virginia I\u2019m Home<\/em> is Emily\u2019s debut single and it\u2019s an homage to her adopted home state. \u201cThere aren\u2019t many songs about Virginia, and it\u2019s so beautiful,\u201d she said. \u201cI was welcomed with open arms here. Fredericksburg is a small town with a big music community. Being here really helped kickstart my career, and I wanted a song for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emily\u2019s music is described as alternative country.\u00a0&#8220;Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, and Koe Wetzel have been big influences on me since 2019. But since then, I&#8217;ve been inspired by Wyatt Flores, Turnpike Troubadours, Ella Langley, Treaty Oak Revival, and Ole 60,&#8221; Emily said. &#8220;I think fans of Tyler Childers, Wyatt Flores, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, and Morgan Wade would be fans of my music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-198770\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia-800x800.png\" alt=\"emily woodhull\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/emily_woodhull_virginia.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After writing the song in 2023, Emily continued working with her team in Nashville and her vocal coach. 2024 was the year she hit the pavement with live performances. \u201cIt was a slow build of getting my name out there, I started with 2 to 3 performances a month,\u201d she said. \u201cNow I play 3 to 5 times a week throughout Virginia, DC, and Maryland. I\u2019m a regular at some places, and I\u2019m looking to expand. I play everywhere &#8211; bars, restaurants, vineyards, private parties, you name it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A highlight of 2024 for Emily was opening for musician Bryan Martin at the Pearl Street Warehouse. \u201cHis single <em>We Ride<\/em> went Platinum the week that we performed together,\u201d Emily said.
