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.

Do you know anyone who hosts unofficial showcases during AmericanaFest in Nashville? I'll be there with a great band backing me up, and we'd love to play. It’s my first time at the festival, so I’m firing shots in the dark here. DM if you've got a showcase opportunity. Thanks!

Hello friends, I’m back online a little earlier than expected. Had to let you know: my van is still in the shop, so I won’t be able to make it up to Polebridge for my Friday show. I’m BUMMED about this, and very sorry to cancel, but I’m still planning to be in Montana next week for Bozeman and Red Lodge. Unrelated: this might be my new favorite photo of me and @oliveandwest -

The past few days have been great. Three shows in three days, culminating with a house concert in Eden, UT. Our #houseconcert hosts, Jim and Kay were tremendous, and they knocked it out of the park on their first swing. Thank you to everyone for coming to the show. Lester and I had a blast, and were honored to play for you. As you can see, the scenery around Eden lived up to it’s name. Now, it’s time for me to log off social media for a week, walk in the woods, and let the quiet sink in. See you in Montana!

Huge thanks to everyone in Boulder for coming to the show last night at @etown_radio Cafe, hosted by @boulderintheround @_theresapeterson_. @pamelamachala and @kyledonovanmusic were awesome, and I had an unforgettable time. It was really a superlative show. Let’s do it again soon.

For those of you who don’t live around here, this is what June looks like in the Colorado high country. Vail Pass. Yes, that’s snow- oceans of it.
Also, I had a tremendous time playing at eTown last night, and will post more about that soon. What a night.
