Featured on NPR, SiriusXM, and BBC Radio, Brooklyn, NY-born/raised/based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky spent a dozen years recording and touring under her own name before she widened her lens to production and musical theatre. Whether written in her own voice or the voice of a character, Rebecca’s songs delve into the complex inner worlds of individuals, and explore the murky boundaries of self.
Rebecca’s albums, released by Austin, TX label Nine Mile Records, include Only Daughter (Top 10 Country Album of the Year - The Telegraph UK), Known Objects (4 stars - Maverick), Departures & Arrivals (Critics’ List Best of the Year - Philadelphia City Paper), and Viewfinder (Song of the Day - NPR Music). During her time on the road in support of these albums, Rebecca toured relentlessly across the US and Europe, averaging 75 shows per year and sharing stages with Grammy winners Shawn Colvin and Loudon Wainwright III.
Following the 2016 election, Rebecca traded her cowboy boots for a pantsuit and wrote, produced and performed Witness: Hillary’s Song Cycle, a concept album which went on to become a one-woman show. Witness goes inside the mind of Hillary Clinton just after her devastating election loss. The show sold out both the 2018 New York International Fringe Festival and its subsequent run at The Duplex, and received a segment on WNYC/New York Public Radio’s “All of It” with Alison Stewart.
Rebecca is currently hard at work on her newest project, Einstein’s Begonia (Semi-finalist, O’Neill Musical Theatre Conference 2025), an ambitious new musical based on the true story of a family heirloom Rebecca was gifted: a houseplant that belonged to Albert Einstein. Told from the plant’s perspective, Einstein’s Begonia explores grief, found family, theoretical physics, botany, and the search for identity.
