Brooklyn's own indie-twang songtress.

About Me


"Talented local folk-pop songsmith Rebecca Pronsky explores a more country-tinged sound on her latest full-length ... her writing is 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
"Her new full-length album, 'Departures & Arrivals' is yet another sure-footed step in the right direction.. the singer displays the same remarkable mix of grace and grit as Neko Case. Pronsky's songs provide the framework; her clear, supple voice is a natural vehicle for empathy. And she trusts her listeners to use their imaginations to fill in the details. Definitely one to watch." ~ Philadelphia's Jewish Exponent
"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
