Live at The Red Room at Cafe 939 / 8PM / All Ages / $15 in advance / $18 day of show

Based in Austin, Texas, Penny and Sparrow is the American singer-songwriter duo of Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke. They formed in 2011 after living as roommates at the University of Texas, where they began their musical endeavor as both a hobby and a creative outlet. Their first tune, “Creature,” was recorded in a small apartment with one microphone and a laptop. Throughout the years, Penny and Sparrow has steadily grown both in discography and audience. While the instrumentation in each of the three released albums—Creature (2011), Tenboom (2013), and Struggle Pretty (2014)—may differ, Penny and Sparrow has garnered a reputation of blending sincere lyrics with haunting melodies and harmonies in every song. The raw and emotive quality of their music has been known to push crowds to near silence for an entire set.
