Music of the Mountains: Emma Sky Quarterman

In this week's Music of the Mountains, we feature Emma Sky Quarterman, a Colorado singer-songwriter working on booking more gigs in the Front Range. She's got two performances on Valentine's Day weekend, so be sure to stay tuned to learn more about those shows!

Emma Sky Quarterman is, in many ways, a woman of the mountains. Not only is the country, pop, and R&B-inspired artist one of many in the lineup of the 2026 Women of the Mountain Festival, she is also a lifelong Colorado resident—born in Leadville, growing up in Nederland, and moving to Boulder in 2010.

She grew up interested in being a musician, ultimately performing in the school choir at Nederland MiddleSenior High and helping to host an open mic at TEENS, Inc. In her college years, she attended Naropa University to study music.
