Ace, Cunningham’s third studio album, confronts heartbreak like a hand of cards — where an Ace can be everything or nothing, love or loss, the end or the beginning. Written during a period of deep emotional shift and co-produced alongside Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Bahamas, Peach Pit), the album follows the GRAMMY-winning Revealer with a more vulnerable center, pulsing piano, and a sense of rebuilding from ashes. PASTE praised her lead single “My Full Name” for lyrics that feel both intimate and ancient — a landscape built from detail, ache, and clarity. Cunningham calls Ace “a mountain we built together.” It sounds like one.
Ken Pomeroy will break you gently — one line, one note, one truth at a time. Her voice is soft but surgical, her stories tender but unsparing. She writes for the wounded, laughs darkly at the absurd, and holds space for every bruise and bloom between.
Pomeroy’s forthcoming album Cruel Joke is a 12-track stretch of contemporary folk — raw, visual, cathartic. Proudly Native American and raised in Moore, Oklahoma, she carries stories like stars and shadows. Her mamaw named her Little Wolf with Yellow Hair. Her songwriting makes that feel literal.
Her music has already found powerful pathways — “Wall of Death” landed on the Twisters soundtrack; Hulu’s Reservation Dogs featured her aching standout “Cicadas.” She has toured with Lukas Nelson, Iron & Wine, American Aquarium, Kaitlin Butts, John Moreland, and more. The momentum is real, even if she jokes she hasn’t quite had time to catch it.
Pomeroy started writing songs at 11, sparked by hearing John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane” on repeat — 18 times in a row, burned onto a childhood CD. She wanted to feel something. Now she wants you to.
Across Cruel Joke, self-reckoning meets mythology, memory, and animal-guided storytelling. There are wolves, coyotes, cicadas, mirrored heartbreaks, and smells that unlock locked-away rooms. Songs like “Stranger,” “Innocent Eyes,” “Coyote” (ft. John Moreland), and the shimmering “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothes” cut sharp and heal slow. If songwriting is survival, Pomeroy is surviving beautifully.
“I want people to hear my songs and think, ‘Someone else feels this. I’m not alone,’” she says. That is her gift — and on January 17 in Denver, she’ll share it.
