Bio: Philadelphia-based duo Darlingtyn brings together the timeless storytelling of classic country, the soul of Appalachian folk, and the adventurous spirit of the modern jam scene. Since 2012, Jack Shoudy and Emily MacDonald have been crafting songs rooted in honest emotion, rich vocal harmonies, and a deep respect for the American roots tradition. Their live performances blend heartfelt songwriting with inspired improvisation, creating shows that feel both deeply personal and uniquely spontaneous.

Praised for their "real Philly folk with outstanding original songs" (City Island Music), Darlingtyn has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including Tyler Childers, Del McCoury, Steve Earle, Béla Fleck, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dopapod, and Andy Frasco. Equally at home in intimate listening rooms, neighborhood honky-tonks, and festival fields, the duo bridges the worlds of country, Americana, bluegrass, and improvisational music. Whether delivering a finely crafted ballad or stretching into an exploratory live arrangement, Darlingtyn creates performances that are authentic, engaging, and driven by the unmistakable chemistry of two musicians who have spent more than a decade making music—and life—together.
