The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword With Guest Laura Jorgensen

description: Penny Hill, Peninsula, and Laura Jorgensen play live music!

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. 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. 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," which has songs about getting mugged, contempt for love songs, the homeless, post-apocalyptic anthems, and sexual harassment and consent. "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)

Laura Jorgensen accompanies herself on accordion and mountain dulcimer, incorporating a wide variety of folk and world music influences to tell stories about the earth: how it is, and how it should be. "The visual and auditory image was that of a storytelling fairy princess, vocals gliding and soaring like a bird. Incredibly beautiful." (The Boston Survival Guide)
