By superimposing a fundamental laser pulse and a perturbative second harmonic admixture on a nanometric metal tip we coherently control multi-photon photoemission. We show that the photo-induced electron emission is dependent on the phase of the two light fields. By using a single solid state nanoemitter, contrast values of the phase-dependent electron signal of more than 90 per cent are reached, which is among the highest reported values for two-color coherent control measurements [1]. The experimentally observed phase-dependent electron emission is explained via quantum pathway interference and is compared to time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and DFT simulations [2].
