Emily Scott Robinson

Second Chance Humane Society presents An Evening with Emily Scott Robinson at the historic Sheridan Opera House on Sunday, March 23. Doors at 7 p.m., SHOW at 8:15 p.m. All proceeds from this event will help support animal welfare in the region through Second Chance’s programs and services.

With a quarter million miles under her belt and counting, Robinson travels the dusty highways of America's wild country, capturing the stories of the people she meets and expertly crafting them into songs. She received critical acclaim for her debut album Traveling Mercies-- Rolling Stone named it one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2019.” She followed up the release by taking first place in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s famous Troubadour Competition. In 2021, Robinson signed with Oh Boy records, the label founded by the legendary John Prine, and released her follow-up album American Siren. It made numerous “Best of 2021” lists including NPR, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and No Depression. In 2022, Robinson released a collaboration for theater— a song cycle written for the Witches of Shakespeare's Macbeth called Built on Bones. “Colorado singer-songwriter Emily Scott Robinson mixes folk and country with gorgeous, clear-eyed examinations of faith, hope and regret.”— NPR
