The Threepenny Opry presents Emily Pinkerton and Robert A. Wagner
April 29 is an important date in history.

In 1975, the U.S. withdrew from Saigon, and The Vietnam War came to an end. In 1967, Muhammad Ali was stripped of his boxing title for refusing induction to the US Army. In 1945, the Dachau concentration camp was liberated by US troops while Adolph Hitler married Eva Braun in a bunker in Berlin. And in 1899, Duke Ellington was born.

In honor of these events, Robert Wagner will be performing (in addition to his own songs) relevant works by Phil Ochs, David Bowie and a 30-second rendition of Satin Doll.

No cover charge, love offering requested.
Children welcome if accompanied by parent.

A native of NW Indiana, Emily Pinkerton is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist whose work draws from Old-Time country and Latin American folk. Sing Out! has called her voice "...affecting and poignant-a different kind of high lonesome." Since 2002, she has performed at venues such as SXSW, Makor, the Cactus Café and La Casa en el Aire. On fiddle, banjo and guitar, she has shared the stage with artists such as Divahn, Glen Velez, Stacy Phillips, and the Chieftains.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Robert Wagner is, was and will always be a little wretch.
