Greetings from Brooklyn where the ACs are working overtime and it hit a sweet 99 degrees on Monday.

It looks like my summer dates are for the most part finalized and there's even more shows than I had expected.

I just added two last minute dates this month in Charlottesville and Washington, DC. I'm off to the west coast in July where I will be doing a bunch of shows in and around San Francisco and, in August I'll be heading upstate as well as starting back up my old music series the "Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange" this time at Union Hall. More on all that soon.

Here's where I'll be in the next few weeks:

Thurs June 12 - PHILADELPHIA, PA - Tin Angel - 8:30PM (w/ Jenny Scheinman)
It's been a while since I played at the Tin and I'm very glad to be back. Opening the night for violinist and songwriter Jenny Scheinman. Jenny's played violin behind pretty much every big songwriter of our time, but now ventures out on her own behind a new record. I'm playing duo with Rich on guitar. $12 http://www.tinangel.com

Sat June 14 - EASTON, MD - Coffee East - 8PM (w/ Lucy Wainwright Roche)
My last show at Coffee East was a ball and I'm so glad I'll be back once more, this time with my old friend Lucy Wainwright Roche, who happens to have an excellent new record out called "8 More." We're both playing solo. $12 http://www.coffeeeastmusic.com

Wed June 18 - CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - Gravity Lounge - 7:30Pm (w/ Lucy Wainwright Roche)
My first time at this great venue. I'll be joining Lucy for another night. This show just came through and we may or may not be playing in-the-round with a local artist so check for updates. I've never been to C-ville so send any of your friends down there to greet me. $TBA http://www.gravity-lounge.com/

Fri June 20 - WASHINGTON, DC - IOTA Club & Cafe (in Arlington) - 9:30PM (w/ Dean Fields)
Sharing the night with Richmond, Virginia based songwriter Dean Fields. This club is super great and showcases excellent music 7 nights a week. Can't wait to get back to DC. Duo show with Rich on guitar. $12 http://iotaclubandcafe.com/

Wed July 2 - BROOKLYN, NY - Old First Church - 9PM - Summer Music Festival
Free music at this great staple of the Park Slope community every Wednesday night this summer. Right on the corner of Carroll St and 7th Ave. Free, http://www.oldfirstbrooklyn.org/

See you in the sun,
Rebecca

It is officially super warm, perfect-for-touring weather! I had a great time up in Boston at the Campfire Festival and am really enjoying the album I snagged from fellow performer Jenee Halstead.

Back at home last week I did another fun show at Union Hall. Here's us:

Just three more shows out east before I head to San Francisco.

I still have a couple open dates in the Bay Area so if you have any ideas, let me know.

See you out there!
Rebecca

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Played two fun shows this past week in NYC and Philly. Here's a video of the full band playing a new tune at Union Hall:



See you in Maryland next weekend.

Sunday, April 20, 2008

Hello Friends,

I 'm very happy to announce a string of excellent shows coming up around the northeast. I'm really looking forward to sharing the stage with some amazing talents. Hope to see you:

Mon, April 28 - BROOKLYN, NY - Union Hall - 8:30PM (w/ Haunt and The Everybodyfields)
So glad to be back -- with my full band -- at Brooklyn's coolest venue in what is sure to be a terrific show. Haunt (from Northampton) opens, followed by me and my band, and then the The Everybodyfields from Johnson City, Tennessee, a constantly-touring alt-country group. Don't miss it., $8

Tues, April 29 - PHILADELPHIA, PA - World Cafe Live - 8PM (w/ Bronwen Exter and Carsie Blanton)
Misty voiced Bronwen, sassy Carsie and I take over the upstairs of World Cafe Live and play in the round, campfire style. It'll probably be the most eclectic round I've ever done and also, I'm guessing, one of the best. $6.

Fri, May 9 - BALTIMORE, MD - Baltimore Chop Shop: Books, Music & Coffee - 8PM
My first gig ever in Baltimore (not sure why this took so long). This is a FREE SHOW, so come on down and send your friends too. 625 Washington Blvd. between MLK and Camden Yards.

Sat, May 10 - EASTON, MD - Coffee East - 8PM (opening for Peter Case!)
Very excited to open for the legendary Peter Case. Woohoo. $15.

Looking ahead:

End of May, early June: I'll be up in New England, and back down in the DC area.
July: Bay Area Tour!!

Thanks for stickin' with me.

xo,
Rebecca


Monday, February 25, 2008

We're back from a week down south. Here's photos of my two favorite shows of the tour:


WDVX 89.9 - Knoxville, TN -- Enjoyed being back again on this great station. We shared the hour broadcast with the amazing cowboy band Sons of the San Joaquin. Their songs made me dream of the old west and their harmonies made me grin like a little girl. (Photo by Peter Scheffler)


Flicker Theatre & Bar - Athens, GA -- A great night. We opened for the totally awesome local band The Ones, whose tropicalia/60's pop knocked my socks off. These guys and gals are the real deal. (Photo by Yong-Kai Xu)

Looking forward to playing in DC this weekend with Eilen Jewell and then taking a little time off of playing to regroup and begin booking my summer shows.

Also, while we were away, my new buttons came in the mail:



They are free at shows. Now that the record has been out for a few months, we'll be touring in support of the new pin until further notice... ;)

Rebecca

That's it for now. Stay in touch and see you soon!

Rebecca

Sunday, January 6, 2008

Hi Friends,

Hope you're enjoying the new year so far. Since my last news installment the record has continued to make headway. It is now available at many retail stores on the east and west coasts and I just got word it was picked up by a distributor in the Netherlands too!

Hilarious but true: You can get my songs as ringtones here or on iTunes! Everytime the phone rings hear your favorite Rebecca Pronsky tunes.

I've been working on some new songs and I've got a ton of great gigs lined up this winter - spending January in the northeast: reuniting with my full band in NYC for our first gig together since September, and doing a solo tour to Boston, Northampton, Philadelphia and the Hudson Valley at the end of the month. Dates are here.

Up next: February: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

See ya 'round,
Rebecca


Thursday, December 6, 2007

Hello Friends,

The holidays are upon us and I am making it my business to get out there in the cold and play a bunch of shows between now and Christmas.

This weekend I'll be visiting the snowy Hudson Valley, playing in Saugerties and Woodstock. Next weekend I'm doing shows at two cozy venues: The Space in CT where I'll be opening for the great Tracy Grammer and Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn.

Did I mention that CDs are awesome holiday gifts?! Well they are, especially when you give people CDs of independent artists, whom they might not hear about otherwise. Be that coolest of relatives or friends this season.

You can buy 'Departures & Arrivals' from lots of online and retail shops. Go here for a full list.

If you order direct from Nine Mile Records, you'll get a special holiday discount. All their titles are only $9.99, including mine, so stock up.

Thanks so much for all your support this year. I played nearly 70 shows in 17 states. Whew! What an adventure.

I'll be kicking off the new year with a full band show in NYC, a bunch of shows around the northeast in January (Boston, Northampton, Philadelphia, Upstate) and a south tour through North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia in February.

Keep those sweaters on,
Rebecca

Hello!

Got back yesterday from doing a couple shows in New England with my friend Lucy Wainwright Roche. Here's a nice shot of us singing together on Sunday at Mocha Maya's in Shelburne Falls, MA:

We're heading back out on the road together in January for some more shows and promise some new harmonies for then.

In other news, Departures & Arrivals is finally available on iTunes. Go download it!

See you soon,

Rebecca


Thursday, October 25, 2007

Hey all,

I had a great time opening for the lovely Garrison Starr at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia last weekend. Here's a photo of the show:


Photo by Patty Bonfig

Also, FYI, this is the last photograph of me with this guitar because today I got a new one! It's hard to part with something so much a part of my history ( I've had that Taylor 612CE since I was 18). And yet it wasn't really right for me anymore. It was time to get something more in line with the sound I'm going for these days.

I'm very exciting to start playing out with my newly acquired Guild F50R which I got from Mazzotti Music:



It's weird to grow up.

Rebecca

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Wow.
The Jewish Exponent in Philadelphia did a feature on me and said some really nice things about the new record, including "the singer displays the same remarkable mix of grace and grit as Neko Case." Read the article here.

Rebecca

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Hello Friends,

Today is the national release date of my new record "Departures & Arrivals." Yay! Yay, indeed.

Some of you already have it thanks to your pre-orders or purchases at live shows over the last couple weeks. If you don't have the CD, it is now available online via Nine Mile Records, CD Universe, J&R, and Barnes & Noble. You can order it directly from those retailers here.

New Yorkers, you can buy the CD at my favorite NYC indie record store Etherea, in the East Village: 66 Avenue A btw 4th and 5th St. I'm also on the listening station there too.

My distributor will be getting the CD into more record stores in the next couple months and on digital downloads as well.

I'll keep you posted...

xo,
Rebecca


Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Hey all,

Last night was my big hometown CD Release show at Union Hall. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported. It was a great show and we packed the place!! It was so nice to play with a band again and share another evening with my good friend Lucy Wainwright Roche. I'm glad I got to kick off my fall release schedule at home in Brooklyn. Here's some photos of the night:


About to perform "Big City Lights" with Lucy on harmonies.


Singing with Lucy on her song "A Bridge"

I will be playing lots of shows in October and November all over the northeast to celebrate the release. I'm excited to be returning to some of my favorite spots like Toad in Boston, the Tin Angel in Philly, The Space in Hamden and the Red Door in Portsmouth. Some new things are set up too -- my first time at the Dewey Beach Americana Festival, and also playing the highly regarded NJ Songwriters in the Round at Maxwells in Hoboken and a spot at the Rosendale Cafe in the Hudson Valley.

If you can't make it to a show, you can buy the CD directly from Nine Mile Records here:

Do it. You won't regret it.

Thanks for all your support with this release.

Rebecca

Southern California is a land like no other. As a New Yorker, I feel almost completely out of my element. Palm trees and desert, and everything else is so new! The ocean is on the wrong side! Mexican food is everywhere and is actually good.

We were received well down here. Here are photos of our shows in LA and San Diego:


Lestat's - San Diego


Room 5 - LA

I can't wait to get home. It's been a long tour and I'm missing my hometown. I gotta get prepared with the band for the Union Hall CD Release show on September 18.

See you soon,
Rebecca

Friday, August 17, 2007

Greetings from the SF Bay area and the middle of the tour!

We've had a very varied group of shows in all sorts of venues: coffeeshop, jazz club, record store and even one in a blues bar. When you're planning a tour it's very complicated to work out something perfect in every city on all the dates you want. Some shows are easier to secure than others; some come through at the last minute. Our show at Luna Jazz in Eugene, OR was terrific. We played with Rachel Sage. In Portland, we did a fun in-store performance at Millennium Music, a great record shop (see photos). Then, yet again the Bay Area came through delivering two excellent shows for us at Mama Buzz Cafe in Oakland and back at the Hotel Utah in SF.

I am enjoying seeing San Francisco again, since I haven't been back since last summer and it's definitely the most exciting city we've played in yet, although I really dug Seattle. We head to southern California today for our final dates in SLO, LA and San Diego.

It feels great to have the new record with me and I hope to sell out of all the copies I brought with me so I don't have to lug them back on the plane and into my overcrowded NYC apartment. More tour reports soon.

xo,
Rebecca

Sunday, August 5, 2007

Friends! The CDs are here!

... and just in time cause I'm leaving tomorrow for my west coast tour. CDs are not officially released till October but you can get one at shows until then.

The record has already gotten some advanced press. Oakland's East Bay News did a feature on me for my upcoming show there on August 14 and said some very nice things about the record.

NYCers, save the date:
Tues, Sept 18 at Union Hall -
CD Release show!
It's gonna be a good one and your only chance to get the record early!

Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Rebecca


Saturday, July 14, 2007

Hello out there,

Like most of us, I've had a "top ten" albums list for a long time, but recently I've been hearing such great music from indie artists who I've shared bills with or just heard through the grapevine that I find myself listening almost solely to my contemporaries. Many of the artists I used to swear by haven't got me stirred up with new records. So I wanted to share what music has really got me going lately. Here's my indie top-ten list in no particular order:

1. Merrie Amsterburg - Little Steps
2. Paul Schneider - Escape Velocity
3. Valorie Miller - Folk Star
4. Hoy - Forever Endeavour
5. Friendly Bears - On Oceans, Light, and Sleep
6. Innocence Mission - Glow
7. Luke Brindley - S/T
8. Deb Talan - A Bird Flies Out
9. Jennifer Greer - The Apiary
10. Lucy Wainwright Roche - 8 Songs

If you like good stuff, I suggest giving these songwriters a good listen.

Happy hot July,
Rebecca

Tuesday, July 10, 2007

I'm so excited to announce that my new record is going to be released by Nine Mile Records, a great indie label in Easthampton, MA. The new record is called "Departures & Arrivals" and has a national release date of October 9.

This record has been a long time coming. We began recording over the winter and I cannot wait to get it out there! I have so many people to thank for helping make it happen. More updates when I have them.

I'm also looking forward to touring out west again next month -- it's been a year since I was there. Tour dates are here.

I'm playing my last show in NYC for a few months next Tuesday at Union Hall. Come check it out. They also have indoor bocci and that's pretty damn cool.

Rebecca


Saturday, June 30, 2007

Finally back from touring the south. What a whirlwind week. We had a whole mix of shows: good, bad, weird and amazing. The highlights were definitely Asheville, NC, where we spent a couple days with my friend and exceptional songwriter Valorie Miller, and Knoxville, TN, where we appeared on WDVX's "Blue Plate Special" noontime show for both a radio audience and a live studio one as well. Here are some photos.


In Asheville at the Root Bar, Rich sits in on Valorie Miller's set, with Mike Holstein on bass.


"Blue Plate Special" live show on WDVX in Knoxville, TN

Overall, the tour was an education. We played almost all new cities, got a good sense of the music scene down south, and made some new friends. We will be visiting many of these cities again when the record is released

For now I'm relaxing and then planning to solidify everything for August's west coast tour.
Rebecca

Sunday, May 27, 2007

Hello! Happy memorial day weekend -- Hope you're all having fun out there.

I am very excited about the way the record is coming along and I've decided to take a little more time with it so that it comes out just the way I want it. In the meantime, I'm putting together a short 4-song EP to sell at upcoming shows. There'll be a bonus track on there too that won't be released on the CD, so it'll be worth your while to pick it up.

This month I'm playing in NYC, Boston and DC and I will also be doing an awesome week-long tour of the south, heading to Nashville for the first time and also visiting Athens, GA; Knoxville, TN; Asheville, NC; Chapel Hill, NC; and Charlotte, NC. ! I'm really excited about this.

Hope to see you on a warm night this month.

xo,
Rebecca


Wednesday, April 11, 2007

Hi Friends,

This will be a slow month of gigging for me as I'm doing a lot of work on my record. It is coming along nicely and I should have some tunes up for you to preview in a couple weeks. In the meantime, I'm planning some major touring for the summer to the south and west coast. Check out what's booked so far.

For now, I'll be playing one big show this month in Brooklyn. It's going to be fabulous. I'm very excited because I put the bill together myself and will be joined by some terrific songwriting talent:

Saturday, April 28, 8PM at the Greenwood Cemetery Chapel
Best of the Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange
w/ Ana Egge, Crescent & Frost, Rebecca Pronsky, Valorie Miller
Details here.

"Saved in Time" - Concerts at Greenwood - is presented in partnership with Greenwood Cemetery, the Brooklyn Lyceum, and the Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange.


Hope you can make it. If not, see you next month!

Best,
Rebecca


Saturday, March 24, 2007

Hello friends!

Just did a couple tour dates in New England. I started at The Space in Hamden, CT and played a really fun night there. Great people! Then we played Toad in Cambridge, a college gig and an awesome loft party in Somerville. Unlike most New Yorkers, I love Boston and always enjoy doing music there. I always find the audiences there to be attentive and appreciative listeners.

I won't be playing much in April or May because I am finishing up the CD and getting ready for the release. Then in early June I will be playing CD release shows in NYC, Boston, and Philly and doing a week long tour of the south, playing in Chapel Hill, Asheville, Nashville, Knoxville, Charlotte, and Athens in late June. There's also a west coast tour in the works for August. Woohoo. See what's booked so far here.

Can't wait to get this record to you.

xo,
Rebecca

Sunday, February 26, 2007

Greetings.

Our south tour was so much fun. We had beautiful weather and great shows. Eddie's Attic was the real treat of the tour. Everyone there was wonderful and I played for one of my favorite audiences thus far. Here area some photos of us down south:

We're back home now and it's snowing. We'll be working on the record again and keep you updated on it.

Talk soon,
Rebecca

Sunday, January 28, 2007

Hello Friends,

My toes are frozen over as I write this. Winter has finally come to us in the northeast. Despite the unfriendly weather, February is gonna be a big month for me (even though it's actually very short as months go). I'm playing for the first time at Philly's renowned listening room the Tin Angel and doing some great shows down south. Yes, this southern tour is really just an excuse to go to Mardi Gras, but that can't be bad. I'm gonna be sharing the stage with some really amazing artists and eating barbecue all the while. Here's where we'll be:

Saturday, February 3: TIN ANGEL, Philadelphia, PA - opening for Christine Havrilla
Friday, February 16: PURPLE FIDDLE, Thomas, WV - opening for SONiA & Disappear Fear
Monday, February 19: NEUTRAL GROUND, New Orleans, LA
Thursday, February 22: WUGA 91.7/97.9, Athens, GA - live performance and interview
Friday, February 23: EDDIE'S ATTIC, Decatur, GA - opening for Sarah Bettens (of K's Choice)!
Saturday, February 24: GENERAL STORE CAFE, Pittsboro, NC

All the showtimes and ticket prices are in live.

In March, we'll be playing in the Boston area, as it has been too long. Then there'll be a CD release this spring and I'm also planning a big west coast tour this summer... Look out for more on that.

Hope to see you soon.

The band and I spent last weekend in the studio doing the basic tracking for the new record.  Playing on the upcoming release is Brian Czach (drums) and Mike LaValle (bass) and of course, Rich Bennett (guitar) and yours truly...

See you in '07 for a bunch of really terrific shows and a new record by the spring.

Thanks for all your support this year.  It has been an adventure again.

Thursday, November 30, 2006

Hi Friends,

I had an awesome gig in Philly this month at the World Cafe Live with John Conahan and Nora Whittaker and I'm happy to report that I'll be back in Philly in February at the Tin Angel, opening for Christine Havrilla! Philly has been good to me and I'm so excited to be returning often.

So, I'll be taking it easy in December and January touring-wise because I'm happy to announce that I am finally going into the studio with the full band this month to record the new CD! I'm hoping for a March or April release date. Stay tuned...

-- My Winter plans --
December - Recording and NYC shows
January - New England shows, more album work
February - Philly shows and Southern tour! (more dates to be announced)

In other news, the Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange has some AMAZING acts lined up for the winter and spring. Check out the line-up here.

Happy wintertime,

Rebecca

Hello friends,

Some exciting news:

The music series I've been running for a year now, the Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange, is growing and moving! The Brooklyn Lyceum(a great space in Park Slope) is our new home and partner for 2007.

The series becomes a weekly show and will now take place every Sunday night at 8:30PM. We will continue our mission to create a community of songwriters within the big city and offer consistently excellent music to the borough of Brooklyn. We will feature 2 local artists and 1 touring artist each show.

The Lyceum is a fabulous multi-level performance venue that has hosted great bands and now makes Sunday's songwriter night. It is located right in Park Slope on 4th Ave and President St, one block from the R stop at Union and close to many other subways and busses. It's one block from all the great bars and restaurants on 5th Ave.

We want to thank Vox Pop for hosting the series over the past year and a half. Everyone there has been so kind to us and so encouraging. Please check out the space and continue to support them.

Best,
Rebecca

Hey everyone,

Thanks to all of you who saw us play on our tour this past week.

Many thanks to the SDWC at Brown for having us and to Danielle at the Burren, Paul at Cafe Nine, and most of all to Andy Dow and Zach Field for all their great playing. It was a real treat playing with a band again.


It was great to get back to some of my favorite cities. I'm planning to visit Boston and New Haven again January. I'll be back in Philly in November. Here are some photos from the tour.

See you soon,

Hope to see you!

Friends!

The west coast has been treating us very well. The gigs we've played in SF have been really great. People have been really excited about the music and supportive! I'm liking it a lot here. Here are some photos of us at the Hotel Utah! Thanks to everyone who's been listening out west. I'm hoping to come back and play again sometime during the cold New York winter.

Best,

Hey!

Coming back from Boston again on the Fung Wah bus. I had a great time playing at the benefit for Deval Patrick (candidate for governor of Massachusetts) at Johnny D's. Deval spoke at the benefit and was very inspiring. Check out his background and stance on the issues at www.devalpatrick.com then vote for him in the Democratic primary.

So my summer shows are all lined up now. My band and I will be back at the Summer in the Square festival again for the third year in a row on July 19-- yay! Rich and I will be playing in San Fran and Portland, OR in August -- those will be my first gigs on the west coast! In addition, there are plans in the works to September tour through the northeast with fabulous Boston singer/songwriter Jennifer Greer!

In other news, the Songwriters Exchange has been going great! Last month's show was packed. Thanks to all who came out to support the music. The next show is July 1. There will be no show in August, but September, October, and November are all already booked!

Thanks for being patient about the CD. It should be out later this year. We won't rush recording, because we want it to sound as great as it possibly can.

Rebecca

Hey guys,

I just got back from Boston where I played two fun shows and got a chance to meet and play with some great folks at the fabulous Campfire Festival at Club Passim. Seriously, those guys really know how to run a music festival!

So, June will soon be upon us and I am happy to report that I am in rehearsals with the band practicing the new tunes for the NEXT RECORD!! I am very excited to get the process started and will hopefully have a full length release ready for you soon.

Stay tuned.

Hello friends,

I had a great time in Boston and Providence these past few days. My shows were really fun.

I played my first show ever in a castle on Monday - in Providence at the arsenal: an old armory, and an amazing space. (see photo)


I also had the opportunity to share last night's show with Amelia White and her kick-ass band at Toad.

Other than playing shows, I watched most of the second season of Lost on DVD (I'm totally hooked now) and wandered around lovely Cambridge, MA. I just got back to NYC where it is strangely at least 10 degrees warmer, and now it's almost May...

May is gonna be exciting. Highlights include the Songwriters Exchange in Brooklyn, an evening at the funky Lakeside Lounge in the East Village, a show at Steel City Coffeehouse in Philly (so excited to come back), and up to Boston to play at the Lizard Lounge and my first time at the Campfire Festival at Club Passim.

It's gonna be a good time. Stop by and see us. I'm very excited to be playing out so much. I am also hoping to begin recording my next record in May too.

Thanks for your support!

Rebecca

P.S. In August, I'll be living out in San Francisco!!! I'll be playing in the city and touring a bit on the west coast. I haven't set it up yet, so if you have any suggestions of where to play or ideas for me, please get in touch!

Hi friends,

It's just about spring so I'm gearing up for an exciting month. April begins with NYC: a terrific line up for the Songwriters Exchange and then another local show mid-month at Pianos. Towards the end of the month, I'll be touring with Rich again to the Boston/Providence Area, sharing the stage with some terrific musicians and finishing up the month at a great music series in Westchester. Phew! Click here to see where we're headed.

... and I'm starting to contemplate the next record... I won't say anything definite yet, but there should be something out before the end of the year. Stay tuned.

Rebecca

Hello friends,
A lot of people have been asking about Billy, so I thought I'd finally write a little post here about him... Rich and I went to the hospital today to see him. He is recovering slowly but surely.





Billy's good friend Esther started a livejournal where you can post your thoughts and soon Billy will be able to read the messages -- the more the merrier so he can see how many people care about him. Click here to leave a message for him. Our thoughts are with him for a speedy recovery.

Hello again,

Excited to report that the Songwriters Exchange is doing great and the series is moving to Saturdays starting in May! Vox Pop is open later on Saturday nights and I will be able to feature 4 artists now! In addition, it gives more of you, who haven't yet had a chance to check out the series, another reason come out and spend some time at this great little spot and hear new music.

The next show is March 1 and will feature some special acts. My guitarist Rich Bennett will be doing a pre-show solo acoustic tribute to Iron Maiden, his favorite metal band. You can't miss that -- and then the Songwriters Exchange begins. My friend Kate Klim from Boston will be down in NYC playing her fabulous tunes, along with Stephen Clair and Rick Beerhorst. Click here to read more

Hope you can make it.

Best,
Rebecca

Hello out there,

I'm sitting in my friend Laurel's apartment in Portsmouth, NH. We just did our last show of the tour at the Red Door here and it was a really great time. Laurel runs a very professional, high quality music series, aside from being a big talent herself -- Check out the Hush Hush series.

At the fabulous Friendly Toast in Portsmouth:



What really made this particular tour special was all the great people we got to play with. I've have a lot of respect for many of the artists whom we shared the bill with this time around, particularly Jennifer Greer, Chris Monti, Adam Sweeney, Audrey Ryan and Kate Klim who are each immensely original and truly stirred something in me, which is rare I find. I wish all these folks the best of luck with their careers and hope each of them gets the recognition they deserve.

Something I found sad, although not particularly surprising, is the amount of fear and negativity alot of artists I met seem to feel towards playing in NYC. I don't blame them. It's a tough place to play music, even if it's your own home town (ahem, ahem). I'm excited to get back home and work on my music series. I want to make it a good experience for artists in New York and passing through NY. It's a place I love dearly but one that unfortunately often lacks respect for indie artists. Hopefully I can make a difference.

Thanks to everyone who listened and contributed to our time on the road. See you again soon, New England.

Best,
Rebecca

Friday, January 13, 2006

Hi there,

I'm very excited to report that this week's 24/7 - Brooklyn's arts and culture paper - did a feature on the Songwriter Exchange. It's a great article and can be read here.

Happy '06, everyone!!

I had a great time playing Vox Pop on New Years Eve. They have been so supportive of my music and my songwriters series these past few months. If you haven't been there yet, I'll be doing a lot of shows there in '06, so please come check the place out.


I'll be kicking off the New Year with a full band show at the Bowery Poetry Club this Thursday. Also joining us will be Mary Mulliken, whom I've been playing with a bit recently. She's got a great sound.

Then, mid-month, the band and I are FINALLY going back into the studio to get some new songs recorded! I'll post the finished tracks on the website.

At the end of January, Rich and I are heading up to New England for some fun shows. I just added a show in Providence, RI so we are covering a lot of ground now. Look for us in Providence, Boston, Northampton and Portsmouth.

Beginning February 1 my songwriters series will be held on the first Wednesdays of the month. I can't wait for you to hear the talent I'm bringing in. Check out: www.rebeccapronsky.com/songwriters-exchange.html for more info.

Wishing you your best year yet,

Rebecca

Hello...

Only two more weeks till '05 is over and out. I'm just up late thinking about what a huge year this has been for my music and I want to thank everyone who was a part of it all. '05 brought in great reviews, radio play, and some new, more introspective tunes. I shared stages with more songwriters than ever before and got to play venues I used to only hear about. I'm playing with a great band and really getting out there, doing my first real tours. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and my songs this year.

Happy '06 to everyone.

Best,
Rebecca

Hi!

I just got back from playing at Brown and it was a blast. It was so great to hang with fellow alum friends and meet new students. The folks at the Women's Center were super nice and the show was so much fun. I got to stay at a very fancy spot where Brown hosts visiting dignitaries. I signed the guest book along side famous authors, University presidents and such.



I wish every gig was as fancy pants as this one was. Hopefully I will be back up there in the spring. A few more gigs in NYC and then we're heading back up to that area in January.

Can't wait till the days start getting longer again. I'm starting to feel like I live in Alaska.

Wednesday, November 30, 2005

Hi everyone,

Here comes October...

I am very excited to report that I have signed with Solid PR and they are doing a great job promoting me all over the country. More on that soon.

I'm playing some great shows this month. Coming up first, next Thursday the 6th, at the Bowery Poetry Club we'll be playing with my friend Laurel Brauns. Laurel is a talented singer/songwriter based in New Hampshire and a great gal all around. Matt Lydon and other Bowery Poetry regulars will also be playing later in the night. Rich and I head down to DC on the 12th to play at the Velvet Lounge. We playing after Chris Pureka! Then, my songwriters series at Vox Pop continues with an all-female evening on October 19.

Hi!
I had a great time playing up in Boston. We did two extra special shows. First I got to open up the Hurricane Relief Benefit at Club Passim. There were such amazing performers donating their time and talent. After we played I got a free show of some of my favorite songwriters: Lori McKenna, Catie Curtis, Geoff Muldaur, etc, etc, etc. It was to say the least, awesome. Then we played last night at Toad in Cambridge and shared the show with Kate Klim, who is a terrific! What a fun time... Can't wait to get back to Boston again in November. It's one of my favorite cities.

Hi!
I am really excited about this fall...

Firstly, I'll be hosting a new monthly singer/songwriter series at Vox Pop in Brooklyn. Every third Wednesday of the month, I'll be playing in-the-round with two or three great artists whom I've handpicked for your listening pleasure. It should be a great time and an opportunity to be exposed to new music in an intimate space.

I'm so honored to be playing with my band at the September Concert (www.septemberconcert.org), which is a great event that brings free music to venues and community areas in New York City every year on September 11. I'll be doing the event at the Sidewalk Cafe with three other terrific bands.

There will be a bit of touring as well this fall - I have three shows booked in Boston and one in DC. More will be added shortly.

Other than shows, I'm planning to record a single of my new song "Orchids" before the year is up.

CD IN STORES! You can now pick up a copy of the CD at retail locations in New York City, Boston, Providence, and Chicago, as well as find us on iTunes. Details and store locations are on the "listen" page.

One thing that ain't great is that the Sept. 8 show at Makor had to be cancelled. Pete Francis won't be playing the residency so I will not be opening for him. I hope to reschedule there for later this year, as I love that venue.

Hope to see you sometime this fall.

Getting ready to say goodbye to summer,
Rebecca

Thursday, August 04, 2005

Hey there,

We had a great time playing Union Square Park again this year at the Summer in the Square Festival. Many thanks to park-goers who braved the 95 degree heat to listen!!

The next few shows will be solo until my band members reconvene in September. Until then you can catch me solo this month in Brooklyn at Vox Pop and Pete's Candy Store. See "live" for more info.

See you soon,
Rebecca

Hi all,

We got back from our tour last week. There was a lot of driving and adventure. The border guards at the Canadian border asked us a lot of questions and then went on my website so they could get proof that Rich and Billy were really in the band and not holding me hostage! Pretty funny. It's always good to get hits on your website, and I'd love to acquire a few fans at the Canadian customs office. I apologize to anyone in Boston who came out to see us. We got stuck in the worst traffic ever on I-95 and missed the gig entirely. Bummer. The website now has some new tour photos up and soon to have sound clips from our show in Montreal.

Friday June 3rd's Montreal Gazette said "Check out singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky, in from New York City. We hear she's the new Joni Mitchell."

I am taking it easy for the rest of the month, but I am playing two great shows in July, both Saturday nights (at Rockwood Music Hall in Manhattan and at Vox Pop in Brooklyn). Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at Pete's Candy Store on June 2nd. Very fun show!

See you soon!
Rebecca

Tuesday, May 31, 2005

Hey all,

I got a new guitar! It is so damn cool - wine red finish, electric, a hollow body, very funky... Needless to say, I am very excited! I got it at a great little second-hand instrument shop in Lambertville, NJ this past weekend and I can't wait to play it at gigs. I will still be playing my acoustic guitar but now have an electric too for the heavier tunes.

Our tour starts this Friday in Boston. Can't wait to get on the road. Looks like we will be getting press coverage, especially in Montreal. Look for us in the papers. Send out your friends to see us!

All the best,
Rebecca

Sunday, May 15, 2005

Hey everyone!

I am really excited about the summer - not only because it is going to be warm and sunny, but also because I am playing a lot of great shows. I'm doing a week long tour with the band in June and playing a bunch of gigs in New York City for the rest of the summer. I can't wait to play the Summer in the Square festival again in Union Square Park! Also I am going to be doing a residency at Vox Pop, which is a great new space in Brooklyn. I'll be there every Wednesday night in August, as well as one Saturday in July. Stay tuned for more news and shows as the summer gets closer.

Cheers,
Rebecca

Saturday, May 07, 2005

Hello!

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Princeton, NJ, New Hope, PA and Washington, DC this weekend! The highlight of the tour was definitely the radio interview we did on WDVR in Sergeantsville, NJ on Friday with Chris and Ed. Hope you were listening!



Did you see the great article in the Princeton Packet about us? The CD got a stellar review. "She shows unerring taste as a composer in matching the lyrics of each song with music that complements the mood," they said.

I am working on booking the summer now. We are going to take a break now for a few weeks until we leave for our New England tour the first week of June. Hope to see you out there on the road.
xoxo,
Rebecca

Hey!

We got back from the tour last night. It was a lot of fun and we met some great people out there. Thanks to everyone who came out and listened - you helped make our tour a success! We hope to be going back up north again in June.

Our next show in NYC is coming up soon. It's at Makor on April 5. I booked the whole show and I can't wait to see all the great music that is happening that night. The show opens with my friend Vlada Tomova playing her eclectic mix of Balkan and world music. Then Natalia Zukerman, one of my favorite singer/songwriters around town, plays a set, and then I'll be up there with my band finishing off the night. You can't miss this show!! I'm telling you, it's gonna be great.

See you soon.

We're doing the coastal route: New Haven, Providence, Boston, Portsmouth, and Portland. Check out the show dates in "live."

We're also doing some great gigs in NYC in the coming months, two of which I put together myself. I can't wait to play with all the great female talent I booked at Laila Lounge and Makor. I'm also doing a show at Bowery Poetry Club, which is one of my favorite venues, so that'll be a fun time too.

I know it's cold, but get out of the house and get warm and toasty with some music!!

Yikes! It's been a while since I posted...

First of all, I want to thank everyone who came out to see us at Makor tonight. It was a great show and we definitely had a swell time.

I am really excited to announce that we are playing a last minute show at SOUTHPAW, the fabulous Park Slope, Brooklyn venue where I have seen some amazing acts. We'll be there December 23rd at 9pm. Come check us out if you haven't left town for Christmas yet. We're opening the night for "Red Hook Mansion", who are celebrating Brooklyn Eagle Records first release.

I'm also really excited to announce that we are getting some great local airplay. My song "Waterways" was played on WFMU last weekend! Thanks to the DJ...

As always, thanks for listening and we'll see you again after the new year at Pete's Candy Store!

Hey all,

We had a great gig at Pete's Candy Store this Tuesday, playing our first rockin' gig with our new drummer, Max.

I'm excited about an upcoming interview and performance for Brooklyn College Radio in November for the Monday Morning Magazine show.

Hi friends,

I haven't written in a while so I wanted to let you know what the band and I have been up to these days.

We are taking a break from playing for a few weeks to hone our tunes, write a bit, and get things rolling with our new drummer, Max Goldman. Max is super-talented and I'm very excited to have him in the band.

We will play our first gig with Max on November 9 at Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg and following that show we will be playing at Makor on December 14. This is really exciting show as Makor is a terrific venue. Recent performers include Norah Jones, Sophie B. Hawkins, Richie Havens, and the Klezmatics.

I'm excited to announce that Rich and I have become a big hit at the jazz series at Teddy's Bar & Grill in Williamsburg and will now be performing there every 3rd Sunday of the month. The new CD is in their jukebox, so you can play all 6 tunes for $1 when you're chowing down on a regular night.

Rebecca Pronsky Band pins are here. They are gonna be free at upcoming gigs so wear 'em and spread the word!

We are on the top 30 chart at WSIA 88.9FM Staten Island. I'm working on getting more local airplay. If you know of any good stations, or have any friends in radio, let me know. I'd love to get the CD out to interested DJs.

As always, thanks for your support. Hope to see you at a show soon.

Rebecca (and the band)

Hi all,

It seems I haven't posted a news update in a while. Happy to report that things are moving right along for myself and the band. We will, however be taking a break this summer. But...we will return in August for more music-making. We will be touring then to celebrate the release of the new EP "The Early Hours", which, if you were wondering about it, is due out in a week or two.

We have one more band show on Saturday, the 22, and then I will be playing solo as part of a "Songwriters In-The-Round" event at the Parkside Lounge.

Stay tuned for CD release news and tour information.

Hey all!

IT'S SPRING IN BROOKLYN and we are celebrating in style. I will be playing 6, count them, 6 wonderful shows in Brooklyn in April and May.

Kicking off the series the band and I will be at the Laila Lounge in Williamsburg on Saturday, April 10th at 10pm. The show is free and is happening at Laila's hip, new downstairs space. Put on your best asymmetrical haircut and hop on the L to Bedford to see us.

We will also be back at the infamous and fabulous Pete's Candy Store on May 11th. For complete Brooklyn dates check out "live".

... In other news the EP is almost done. All we have left is to get it mastered, and then the rest is copying and layout. Now I know people say "Almost doesn't count," but it does here because you can preview the album by listening to some of the rough tracks on the website. Go to "listen" to get a taste.

See you in Brooklyn, friends!

Monday, March 01, 2004

Hey everyone! Happy March. It feels like spring today. Lots is happening with the band. Read on...

Recording News:
Well we are officially entrenched in recording the EP and it is going very well. Sundays are spent in the studio with George up in Washington Heights. We play and play, and then we break for chicken at Malecon. So far we've cut most of the drums, bass, and guitar tracks. Vocals and harmonies should be done next weekend, plus mixing and we should be close to done with the CD! It will feature our 6 best songs.

Gig news:
The Laila Lounge show has been rescheduled for April 10. Hope to have the EP available at the show. I've also scheduled another of our regular jazz standards performances at Teddy's for March 14. Rich and I entertain the local Williamsburg crowd with Frank Sinatra and Billy Holiday tunes. I'm playing a solo show at Brown University on Thursday, March 18. If you have friends up in Providence let them know about the show!

More soon,
Rebecca
