"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

This month we have Regina Spektor with the theme to the film Prince Caspian (but don’t let that put you off, it is really rather wonderful), Mermaid Skeletons with a great song that’s worth it for the chorus alone, the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, who are as good as their name if not more so and finally the legendary Chip Taylor with the thought-provoking Former American Soldier. Great listening, and if you like the tracks, buy the albums!
Just back at the hotel after seeing you and Lucy in Easton. What a great time! You were great!!! It was a cool way to be able to spend some time and have such a good time with my mom too. It meant a lot that we were able to share some 'girl time'. And we really loved the opportunity for the the meet & greet & CD signing. Thanks for the most fun I've had in a while. All the best, Lisa
