GOING INTERNATIONAL: How does a girl from a small mid-western town become an artist specializing in international music? For Emily Pinkerton, it's all in a name. At age 19, she traveled from her home in Valparaiso, Indiana to Valparaiso, Chile as an exchange student. While she was there, she began an apprenticeship with some of the country's best musicians. Now, she's making a living as a singer/songwriter who plays an Andean style guitar and sings her country/folk songs in both English and Spanish. Why are we telling you all this? Tonight, Pinkerton is taking the stage at the Buttonwood Tree in Middletown. Tickets for her 7:30 p.m. show are $10.
