It was the kind of event that makes it all worthwhile, all the exhausting travel, the crazy long hours, and being far away from her husband and daughter for weeks at a time. The final leg of their tour had brought Emma and her band to a little seaside town in the French Riviera to cap off a weeklong festival. The weather was perfectly hot and clear and a gen...
