“Affecting and poignant--a different kind of high lonesome...”
Seth Rogovoy, Sing Out!
"Lyrical and hypnotic, Emily’s performances are a unique combination of Latin American music and the traditional sounds of American Old-Time." Trish Imbrogno, Nightwire
"But as impressive as Pinkerton's musical dexterity is - she plays
guitar, banjo and violin expertly - it pales next to her vocal tone...
...Emotions waver on Pinkerton's vibrations. At times, her voice is the epitome of loneliness, and at others, a portal for the familiarity that only home can bring. She sings about love and war, rejection and homecoming, changing the atmosphere in the room with each breath."
Emily Byrne, The Santiago Times
Pero qué belleza de canciones y voz, Emily... ¿qué conexión tienes con Chile? ¿cómo es que conoces a los guitarroneros de Pirque? Preciosas tus versiones de esas bellas canciones... preciosa te queda la flor de la verbena como tonada, nunca la había escuchado así. Bella tu guitarra y tu banjo... Gracias por difundir estas canciones por allá... un abrazo Javier
Hola, Emily! Hope the mixing is going well! Let me know if you want to record anything else or just play this weekend. Andrea, Karen (cello) and I are getting together to play on Sunday at my place if you're interested! I'll give you a ring later in the week!
What do you give a city that has everything? Why not its own opera! Help kick off the 250th birthday year of the 'burgh with the return of Squonk Opera's roast/toast of the formerly smoky city in a little show we call Pittsburgh: The Opera! We debuted this show in June of 2006 and sold out the run, so we're bringing it back for 4 shows only, January 17-20 at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty (or Eastside as some people like to call it). Since the last run of Pittsburgh: The Opera, we’ve done operas for Baltimore, St Louis, Albany, College Park, Columbia, Chester County and South Orange as part of our touring series (put your hometown's name here): The Opera. But none of them compare to Pittsburgh. So redd up your room, grab your terrible towel and tap your inner yinzer for a rollicking good time with all of the other jagoffs. Yinz better be there!

"In order to be really hip, you can’t have any notion of being hip. And that’s what Pittsburgh is. No one thinks this place is hip. So, it is the hippest place on earth!” -Rick Sebak from Pittsburgh: The Opera
