About
“Americana songwriters are a dime a dozen these days, but few are writing songs like Jackson Emmer.” – Rolling Stone
– – – – – –
Jackson Emmer’s lyrically playful and intimate Americana style is as gleeful as it is irreverent. Combining an authentic country spirit with an honest and modern perspective, Emmer connects with listeners in the time-honored storytelling tradition.
His songwriting is often compared to that of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, and Guy Clark. Emmer has performed hundreds of shows around the country, sharing the stage with Leon Bridges, The Suitcase Junket, and Gill Landry (Old Crow Medicine Show) and many others. He’s now touring nationally in support of his 2018 release “Jukebox,” via Lost Honey Records.

The last shows of 2018 are nearly upon us! Want to check out my annual holiday residency at the St Regis in Aspen? Let me talk you into it. I promise to play heaps of original music, and ZERO versions of Free Bird, Wagon Wheel, or Brown Eyed Girl. Plus, the musicians accompanying me at each gig are INCREDIBLE in their own right. Come say hello.

I joined a gym recently, hoping to prevent my body from taking on the shape of the inside of my minivan. Getting proper exercise as a touring musician is HARD. Maintaining a routine of sleep, meals, and excercise is tough when you’re in a new place every night, driving 2-10 hrs/day, skipping meals so you don’t burp while singing, etc. To my fellow rambling musicians: what do you do to stay healthy while living this life? I’m all ears.
