About
“Americana songwriters are a dime a dozen these days, but few are writing songs like Jackson Emmer.” – Rolling Stone
– – – – – –
He can’t help it. Songs keep Jackson Emmer up at night. Born with an unrelenting creative spark, Emmer has quietly built his reputation as a songwriter’s songwriter on the outskirts of country music. His work blends humor with heartache, and tradition with exploration. Emmer’s whiskey-smooth, conversational singing style is as distinct as his writing. He often croons at a whisper, drawing listeners in with his relaxed, understated delivery. Lately, Emmer has drawn critical acclaim for his 2018, sophomore album, “Jukebox.”
Jackson Emmer is often compared to artists like John Prine, Guy Clark, and Roger Miller. In 2018 he won awards for his songwriting at the Telluride Troubadour Contest (Telluride, CO), Folks Festival Songwriter Showcase (Lyons, CO), and Songwriter Serenade (Moravia, TX). He has opened for or co-billed with: Leon Bridges, Della Mae, John Oates, and The Wood Brothers, to name a few.
Emmer lives in Carbondale, Colorado.

#tbt I know this was only a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to share a few highlights from @songwriterserenade
1. I met @sambakermusic. He casually gave me some life-changing advice, and staged a series of buoyant photoshoots w @oliveandwest
2. Part two of the photoshoot with Sam: we roped fellow songwriters @korafeder and @kyledonovanmusic into the toothy parade.
3. My pal @scottmartinsongs and I did our best to grin through the competition jitters.
4. The big group of songwriters gathered on the TR Ranch back porch on Sunday morning to talk about the writing process, and chase our dreams together, w @susangibsonmusic holding court.
5. Everybody on the back porch. @marybragg @justinfarrenmusic @theflyinas @dneihoff @johnstatz @claudiagibsonmusic
Thanks again to Tom, Pat, Carol, and the entire Songwriter Serenade team for putting together such an incredible and unforgettable experience. It was tremendous.
