"Pronsky's tunes are literate, passionate and wry." ~ Time Out NY
"Departures & Arrivals is most polished effort yet with a distinct country-pop flavor. Pronsky [is] one of the rising stars of Brooklyn's indie music scene... With slicker, ballsier vocals and jazzier progressions than your average folksinger, she bridges the gaps between folk, Americana, jazz, and indie pop" ~ East Bay Express
Critics' Pick Top Ten Album of 2008 "Rebecca Pronsky struck a deep chord on last year's Departures & Arrivals, with a little twang and a lot of empathy." ~ Philadelphia City Paper
"A huge voice with songs to match: file under talent yet to be discovered This is a definite grower as the songs reveal their secrets with repeated listens... a cut above your average female singer songwriter... I bet she’s phenomenal live." ~ Americana UK
"Listening to Rebecca Pronsky’s new EP 'The Best Game in Town' invokes probably the strongest feelings of western nostalgia you could possibly experience in the comfort of your Brooklyn home. Despite her NY roots, her passionate vocals and textured sandy tones vibe a southern belle who just wandered off the range to find herself eye-level with a mic... Her heart-lorn loneliness combined with her openly friendly and observational disposition draw the listener into her graceful lyrics.... Once again, Rebecca Pronsky has proven that songwriting is her game and she knows how to deliver it best – through impressively simple production." [Rated A] ~ Jezebel Music

Somebody was a little bit fabulous Saturday night on stage. Okay, Rich was good, granted, but you were the fabulousness. I really dig the EP too. It was rather surreal driving into work this morning blaring The Best Game In Town as the clouds started to swallow the sunlight and to make way for the rain.
Hope you guys get back this way. Even if it is somewhere that doesn't have the mustache quotient of The Boot. :D
