The incredible Ken Pomeroy joins us this week. This young singer-songwriter is a rising star in the world of Americana music (check out her 2025 album, Cruel Joke), an actor on FX’s The Lowdown, and – it turns out – a reader of the Fretboard Journal!

We chat about her first guitar memories; growing up in Oklahoma City; Collings Guitars;  recording her next record at Wilco’s Loft (and using Jeff Tweedy’s Kel Kroydon); plus so much more.

While here, Ken and her band performed a new song, “The Philadelphia Contributor.”
