"Town to Town" - "The Complete Collection" video sampler
Album Blanket Licensing (Annual Access)
Composer John Emil’s music has been featured on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, American Pickers, NBC Dateline, and The Voice. This is a carefully curated catalog of authentic Americana, blues, and cinematic acoustic music — played on unique instruments like the Weissenborn guitar and dobro — licensed directly from the composer. No portal, no middleman, no rotating catalog of thousands.
Three license types, three levels of access: Creator, Production, and Film & TV. Within each, choose a Single Album, a Genre Collection, or the Complete Catalog. Broadcast or streaming use requires cue sheet submission, ensuring performance royalties are tracked through your PRO. All albums have their own page on this website to listen. Please click on the "More" tab up above in the right to unfold the window.
