Appalachia by Emily Scott Robinson

*Due to a manufacturing issue with the initial run of “Appalachia” vinyl, we’re having to re-press the record. Our estimated fulfillment time is March 2026. Thanks for your patience. We promise it will be worth the wait!**

We're so excited to announce Appalachia, the new record from Emily Scott Robinson. Out on Jan. 30th, 2026! Pre-order now.

Robinson believes the songs on Appalachia are the best she’s ever written — she sings about her grandmother slipping into dementia, a cash-only saloon full of characters, and gratitude for life, despite its hardships. The album features a duet with Grammy winner John Paul White that celebrates the kind of love that comes with scars and age, and a hymn for anyone who’s ever failed or fallen short.

“There’s this thing I do with every record I make,” she says. “I knit a prayer into it, and I ask for all these songs to find their way to everyone who needs them. I ask these songs to be of service, to help people find and experience joy.”
