About
“I must admit that your voice entertained my ears much like a rare port entertains my tongue. Smooth and rich with subtle flavors of nature.” Cynthia E. Sacramento, CA
Imagine the lovechild of Joan Baez and Edwin McCain. Take a silky-smooth, sometimes-smoky alto voice, combine it with an unrivaled and impressive finger-picking guitar style. Add a long list of well-crafted, heartfelt original songs with very relatable lyrics and memorable melodies. Mix in unique and often gutsy interpretations of your most loved songs. 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.

Trio 2020
My sincere thanks to Shari Smith and Liz McKay for including me in the very last Trio collaboration. The project teamed an author with an artist and a songwriter for a unique three-dimensional creative endeavor. I had the honor of writing songs for two wonderful authors: Bobbie Pyron, who wrote the incredible young adult novel "Stay" about life in the homeless community; and Kimberly Sims Gibbs who wrote an amazing book of poetry "Lindy Lee: Songs on Mill Hill" about life in a North Carolina mill town. Even though the pandemic cut our planned tour short, the events we were able to hold were truly inspiring, and I was honored to get to know everyone who shared their incredible talent on this project.
