Penny and Sparrow

So many years ago now, I was living in Omaha and had a wonderful opportunity to create numerous cabaret evenings...some of my own creation...some not. But one evening, a group of friends were together sharing drinks and visiting about an upcoming cabaret evening...and one of my friends said, "You know, you and Mitch just seem to complete each other's musical sentences. He gets your thought process and knows how to run with it. He knows how to make music work with you. You create beautiful music together."
And you know what, what a beautiful opportunity that experience was!!! To share music with each other and to be able to create an evening of performance that moves, that reaches down deep into one's soul and brings tears, or laughter, or just taking in terrific music...experiencing it all. What an amazing moment to be able to share...

Jump ahead many more years and we are out with friends in Fayetteville at a music club there to see a group called Penny and Sparrow.

 I had never heard of them or their music.

 From the first guitar strum to the last note, it was all just wonderful music.

 Two amazing talents,
with voices like butterscotch and smoothness, and a guitar
 and I was shook.
Tears welled up at times...Giggles were had...

They are funny.
They are true.
Their friendship is undeniable.
But their music was effortless and calm and together and beautiful and I just had to share a little of their music with you...

They complete each other's sentences and their blend is phenomenal... and powerful...simple and powerful...


Believe me...you will love them...go see them in concert...or get their music....you will not be disappointed.
