Emily Scott Robinson (USA)

Her only Danish appearance in 2026

Since her debut, the album Magnolia Queen in 2016, the American singer-songwriter Emily Scott Robinson has toured all over USA and elsewhere.

Her voice, ranging over nearly three octaves, impresses audiences, making each concert an experience to be remembered.  Her subsequent albums, Traveling Mercies (2019) and American Siren (2021) were praised by Rolling Stone, Stereogum and NPR, and her songs are known to touch listeners deeply. This is no less true for her coming album Appalachia, recorded in a historic church in upstate New York, Josh Kaufman producing, for release in January 2026. The album tells tales of love, loss, hope and community. Topics cover widely, from a North Carolina natural catastrophe to personal loss and existential reflection, often centred on strong women.
Emily Scott Robinson's music has deep roots in North Carolina, where they sang folk songs round the campfire, and her experiences as a social worker in Colorado. Back then she became a social worker because she wanted to do something for others. That's how she sees her music career, too. As she puts it, she weaves a prayer into each album, hoping that the songs will find their way to those who need them. Emily Scott Robinson will perform at Tønder Festival with her band, and it will be her only Danish appearance in 2026.
