Take a silky-smooth, sometimes-smoky alto voice, combine it with an unrivaled and impressive finger-picking guitar style.

Wrap it all up into a truly gracious performer who appreciates a discerning audience. And you’ve got PJ Brunson. But Brunson is not just any folksy-chick singer and picker, and should not be limited to the stereotypical folk singer category. She is an experienced, accomplished, versatile entertainer and performer who creates an atmosphere that is equally engaging whether people are singing along or listening with rapt attention. Based in the Carolinas, PJ is an award-winning songwriter, having placed in national and regional competitions. She performs regularly to faithful fans across the Southeast in listening rooms, restaurants, festivals, coffeehouses and other venues. She has opened for the likes of Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, and the Charlotte Pops.
