“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
