Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ainjel Emme describes herself as an artist who’s down-to-earth yet somewhat off the planet. She’s also one of the hardest working musicians, promoting herself without a manager or publicist, while working as a waitress and having fundraisers to support her projects. Show your support at her show this Friday night at the Hole In the Wall on Guadalupe.
