Light in the Attic has announced the release of “Searching” and “Finally Found Someone,”  the first new music from brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson in over 30 years. Available on digital and physical 7”, the tracks invoke “feelings of nostalgia, longing, and wistful reflection.”

Recorded at Dunham Studios in New York City, the tracks were written by Donnie Emerson, and recorded and produced by Tommy Brenneck (Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Charles Bradley, Amy Winehouse). Brenneck, the founder of both Dunham Studios and Diamond West, a label and recording studio, seized the moment to record Donnie & Joe in an unplanned, spontaneous session one summer night in 2013 immediately following a packed Emerson brothers gig at The Mercury Lounge in New York City.

The release follows the announcement of Donnie Emerson’s first ever West Coast Tour with his wife and musical partner Nancy Sophia. The tour will kick off on October 8 in Seattle, WA and will make stops down the coast.

2023 saw the release of the film Dreamin’ Wild which follows the real-life story of brothers Donnie & Joe Emerson, whose teenage dreams of Rock stardom suddenly came true 30 years later. It stars Academy Award winner Casey Affleck, Emmy-nominee Zooey Deschanel, Emmy-nominee Walton Goggins, Chris Messina, Noah Jupe, Jack Dylan Grazer, plus Emmy and Grammy Award-winner Beau Bridges.
