Penny Hill and Peninsula: An Acoustic Night!
March 25th 7:00PM Penny Hill and Peninsula
An Acoustic Night! @ Since Penny Hill began playing shows two years ago, fans have begged her for an album. After spending the past year in and out of the studio, she will release the record on March 12th on both CD and cassette. As a self-taught guitarist, Penny Hill finds solace and renewal in the experience of songwriting. In the Oklahoma music scene, Penny Hill has opened for touring bands such as Elephant Revival, Polka Dot Dot Dot, Viking Moses and others. She and her band played the 2nd annual Norman Music Festival, and have headlined the majority of the local venues. Though locally and regionally Penny Hill plays with a rotating cast of friends and musicians, she intends to present the songs in their original stripped down form: acoustic guitar and heartwrenching vocals. As said by a fan, "Penny Hill combines poetic lyrics, wandering melodies, and penetrating vocals into songs that are somehow larger than their component parts. Beneath the surface of her sounds are hints of another world, full of beautiful and melancholy mysteries."

Peninsula is a solo musician who loves to perform and play music with his kazoo and guitar. As a D.I.Y musician he writes, records and performs over 200 original songs as well as the songs that inspire him. He grew up in the punk scene and took his knowledge of doing his music and promotion completely by himself. He writes songs reminiscent of the music of the blues, ragtime and vaudeville with very contemporary themes, often whistling, stomping, and encouraging sing-a-longs during his raucous performances. He is on tour to support his album "Get Rich or Try Dying." (released March 16th) which has songs about getting mugged, contempt for love songs, the homeless, post-apocalyptic anthems, ang sexual harassment and consent. Peninsula would love to come to your venue whether it be a stage, or a basement or a living room. "There is a romance to Edison’s first tin foil phonograph recording; a human voice enveloped in crackling, unearthly static. Peninsula brings this claustrophobic solitude to the forefront. Tape hiss isn’t new to pop, but Peninsula uses it make his songs sound starved and aching." (The Seattle Times)
