Singer-songwriter PJ Brunson performs live acoustic folk and easy listening during Sunday brunch.
PJ Brunson is playing The Wine Shop at Rivergate on Sunday, October 11, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. It's a Sunday brunch set, so acoustic folk and easy listening over a late breakfast. Admission is free.
Brunson is a singer, songwriter, composer, guitarist and pianist based in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and she's played all over the Southeast, opening for Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. Around the Carolinas, she's known as the 'female James Taylor'—an acoustic folk artist whose songs draw on poetry, art, literature and Southern heritage. Creative Loafing named her Charlotte's 'Best Acoustic Folk Act.'
She's been writing since she was five, when she penned her first song after nearly drowning at Santee Lake. Her maternal grandmother bought her first 'real' guitar when she was sixteen. Since then, she's recorded five albums as a solo artist and with the New Age duo Ananda, and released the six-song EP The Other Side (Part 1) in August 2023. Her album Home To Me was nominated for Folk Album of the Year by the International Music and Entertainment Association.
