With influences that range from The Swell Season to Iron & Wine to Stephen
Sondheim, Penny & Sparrow create music that is equally as intimate and
poignant as it is powerful and earnest. The songs on Let A Lover Drown You
touch on the idea that living, loving and even dying are all part of the journey we
experience and how they connect us. Our choices, sacrifices and pain are vital
elements of this experience and help define our character. While this all may
seem quite heavy, Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke (aka Penny & Sparrow)
masterfully articulate these notions by humanizing them, making everything
easily relatable.
Baxter and Jahnke began making music together in 2010 while roommates at the
University of Texas in Austin. The duo built a reputation for creating strikingly
honest, bare boned acoustic music that resonated deeply with those who heard
their songs and saw their captivating performances, which rendered audiences
silent. True to their DIY ethos, Penny & Sparrow independently released two
celebrated albums, one EP and toured the country extensively building a loyal
and fervent following
