Darlingtyn is…
…the love child of Philadelphia musicians Jack Shoudy and Emily MacDonald. Their unique style of Americana and "real Philly folk with outstanding original songs" (City Island Music) has made them a rising act in the Philadelphia folk and jam communities. "Swiftly gaining steam as one of Philly's artists-to-watch within both Folk & Jam scenes" (MilkBoy) Darlingtyn has shared bills with artists like Tyler Childers, Del McCoury, Yonder Mountain String Band, Bela Fleck, Steve Earle, Dopapod, & Andy Frasco. Mixing deeply personal lyrics, vocal harmonies, and a cosmic take on the folk tradition, Darlingtyn brings a unique and powerful new sound to the jam and Americana scenes.
Rising organically from the relationship between Jack and Emily, Darlingtyn has been a consistent presence in the Southeastern Pennsylvanian folk scene since 2012. From the saloons and coffee houses of the east coast to Summer Camp Music Festival and beyond, Darlingtyn's music has brought together audiences and musicians from folk, jam, and jazz scenes

“…takes listeners back to the classic roots rock folk ballads of old. The guitar hooks are simple yet magnetic, and the keys dance back and forth between your ears, with the swampy drums and bass holding down the backbeat. The bittersweet harmonies that play out the entire song make the lyrics feel like the sincerest of stories told over a crackling campfire.” - Music Mecca
“A tall redhead with a strong voice and swirling freeform dance moves, MacDonald was the visual focal point, while the rest of the band played their parts more than competently, luring a good portion of the audience onto the dance floor by set’s end.” - Americana Highways
“Swiftly gaining steam as one of Philly's artists-to-watch within both Folk & Jam scenes, Darlingtyn keeps the momentum moving…” - MilkBoy
