Timeless Music

About Turquoise
Turquoise formed when Emily was asked what artist she thought she would enjoy tributing for an upcoming tribute band tour. Immediately Celine Dion came to her mind. She had spent her adolescent years replaying and singing all of Celine's hits. She was excited when a group of very talented musicians shared her passion for Celine's music. "The Show Must Go On", is a tribute show, not an impersonation of Celine, but it captures the elegance, intensity, and grace that have millions of fans always coming back for more.
