Colorado native Emily Barnes began her performance at the 10th annual songwriters festival in Dripping Springs by saying she doesn’t really play the piano. From the first note and the sound of her melodious voice, she had the audience in the downtown Warehouse District listening intently to her songs of truth, love, circumstance and perseverance.
