Encore Performance

An 831 Stories Romance

De: Leila Sales

Emmy Gold—frontwoman of an indie-sleaze breakout band who’s since gone solo—can write a hit song in her sleep. Now, while back on tour with her former collaborator and crush Bishop, she’s finding out if she can rewrite her past.

Deja View, an iconic indie band that released one perfect album two decades ago, broke up after the lead singer, Emmy, slept with the bassist, Bishop—an affair that, for her, was the culmination of years of yearning and, for him, seemed to be just another Wednesday. Since then, Emmy has gone on to a successful career as a singer-songwriter, one who never revisits her past until an anniversary tour to support their drummer’s medical bills forces her to reckon with who she and Bishop once were, and who they have since become.
