Emily Pinkerton

Pittsburgh, PA

Haunting vocals, old-time banjo, and Andean guitar are the backbone of Emily Pinkerton’s alt-country fusion. Hailed as “affecting and poignant — a different kind of high lonesome” by Sing Out!, she weaves together North and South American folk song in a unique and evocative transcontinental style.
