The trademark rich harmonies and sophisticated instrumentation found on Wendigo – the new release by Penny & Sparrow – belie the album’s undertones of darkness and world-weariness. The duo – Kyle Jahnke and Andy Baxter – expands its musical platform on the satisfying follow-up to 2016’s Let A Lover Drown You as violins, violas and French horns sit alongside lap steel and slide guitars. WorkPlay Theatre will provide the optimal listening-room setting for Penny & Sparrow when the band performs there on Thursday, September 7. Lowland Hum will open the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are $15 – $55 for VIP experience – and can be purchased at www.workplay.com.
