Penny & Sparrow
Ticket € 21,20
Tuesday 11 November
In Tolhuistuin - Zonzij
Doors: 19:00, Main programme: 20:00
Membership not required
The singer-songwriter duo Penny & Sparrow originated in the early 2010s from Austin, Texas. They combine rich harmonies with a modern sensibility, inspired by acts like Bon Iver and Mumford & Sons.
With the intention of letting go of all pretense and making room for experimentation, the gentlemen of Penny & Sparrow dove into a friend's garden shed and converted it into a studio, where they created a twenty-track album that feels grand, strange, and sometimes unexpected. The album was named 'Lefty'.
If 'Lefty' is anything, it is the diary of Penny & Sparrow's inner child. The corners dog-eared, the lock forced. The pages are filled with sketches of dreams, nightmares, eroticism, and literary fan fiction that stains the edges of poetry, melancholy, and love letters.
