SUMMARY:Jesse James DeConto (The Pinkerton Raid) w/ Emmy Woods at House of Mercy - St Paul
DESCRIPTION:"a fine blend of Beatles-esque dreamy folk\," says AMERICANA HIGHWAYS\, "there's glorious spirit to it … immensely moving"\n\n\n“vivid storytelling\,” says GLIDE MAGAZINE\, “in the tradition of modern troubadours like Jesse Welles … a reminder that folk music remains one of the most potent vehicles for speaking truth to power.” \n$15 advance tickets\, $20 at the door \nDOORS at 6:30pm\, music 7-9:30 \nHouse of Mercy Music Hall uses the sanctuary at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in the Midway to host occasional concerts. Since fall 2025\, they’ve hosted more than a dozen artists\, including Australia’s Nigel Wearne\, Texas singer-songwriter Danny Schmidt and local legend Ben Kyle from Romantica. https://mercymusichall.com/ \npinkertonraid.com \nSee a show with The Pinkerton Raid\, and songwriter Jesse James DeConto might share about his history in Lawrence\, Mass.\, the birthplace of the Labor Movement; his dad’s stint with Jimmy Carter’s Job Corps; facing COVID rent strikes as a small-time landlord; visiting his granddad’s Sicily while ICE was cracking down on immigrants back home; or consoling his daughter after Elon cut her job at Fish & Wildlife. \nHe’s a poet\, steeped in the mysticism of STAR WARS and Celtic lore\, the existentialism of Kerouac\, the naturalism of THE LORD OF THE RINGS\, Standing Rock and Laurel Canyon\, the liberation politics of Guthrie and Lennon\, but also in his family’s complicated life. \n“A fine blend of Beatles-esque dreamy folk\,” says AMERICANA HIGHWAYS. “(It) simultaneously plumbs the depths of the state of both the world and the human heart.” Jesse has opened for Amythyst Kiah\, TopHouse and Sunny War. He played an official showcase at Folk Alliance 2025 and has slotted at Mile of Music\, AVLFest and Cosmic Songwriter with artists like Carsie Blanton\, Tommy Prine and River Whyless. He writes soft-spoken protest songs with Big Dad Energy\, and there is a fair number of songs about trees. \n \nemmywoods.com \nEmmy Woods (she/they) was born and raised on an old dirt road in rural North Dakota and currently resides in Saint Paul\, MN. With hints of country\, folk\, and blues\, Emmy’s songs showcase her knack for storytelling\, her strengths in musical artistry\, and her ethereal voice. Drawing on a range of influences including Billie Holiday\, Emmylou Harris\, & Against Me\, Emmy has shared stages with such talents as Melissa Carper\, Sarah Morris\, Ryan Young of Trampled by Turtles\, and Cam Whitcomb\, to name a few. \nEmmy began writing at 13\, however\, her music remained unreleased and rarely performed until 2023\, when she burst out of her living room and onto the Minnesota music scene with the release of 3 recorded collections. Undeniably prolific\, she has since released several singles and an EP. Performing anywhere that’ll have her\, from dive bars and markets to ballrooms and festivals\, Woods continues to gain momentum with her witty & captivating repertoire\, her disarmingly down to earth charm\, and her genre-bending sound.
