Penny & Sparrow: Wendigo Tour
After their sold out Tobin Studio Sessions concert last year, PENNY & SPARROW return to the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater for another night of amazing music. There are things that we ought to be afraid of. Things that, rightfully, send cold sweat nightmares. For kids it can be anything from the darkness under a bed, or strangers, or crossing a busy street. For adults it might change face a bit and become things like sickness, job security, or heartbreak. And sometimes, when you point the flashlight right at the thing you’re terrified of, you declaw it. You take its mask off and it returns to being an empty, boring closet with nothing inside to harm you. Or maybe the light shows an unexpected beauty in the place of what you thought was horrific. Other times, though, you aim the beam straight into the pitch black and the thing that you prayed wasn’t real, the one with all the teeth, is right there smiling at you. Texas born duo Penny & Sparrow know these things, and in their 2017 release, Wendigo, they turn the lights off on purpose and hunt for what’s really there in the dark. With a musical maturity that has been honed over half a decade and hundreds of live shows, Kyle Jahnke and Andy Baxter are presenting their most ambitious album yet. Rejoined by Chris Jacobie (producer and engineer of Creature, Tenboom, Struggle Pretty & Christmas Songs) Penny & Sparrow delve into numerous new and diverse sound landscapes throughout Wendigo, without sacrificing the sharp honesty that’s accompanied their career thus far. “Perhaps one of the best things on the internet.” - Huffington Post “Chris Fleming is a noted madman, and, I think, genius.” - Splitsider Magazine “Most electrifying and novel performer.” - The Boston Globe
