Penny Blacks / Clinton Charlton & The Formers / Babette Hayward
- Live At The Blue Olive - November 18th / $8.00 / 8pm -
Saint John indie-folk outfit Penny Blacks will make their Blue Olive debut November 18 at 8PM. A Saint John Music Award winner, and recent Music NB showcase artist, Penny Blacks are part of an all-star lineup that includes Galaxie Rising Star nominee Clinton Charlton and The Formers, and emerging songwriter Babette Hayward.
"This will be the first time we’ve had the opportunity to play at The Blue Olive," says vocalist/guitarist Jason Ogden. "As anyone who has attended a show there can tell you, It’s an awesome room and stage and I think it lends itself perfectly to a big band like Penny Blacks."
Penny Blacks features several members of the Saint John music community, including Ogden (vocals/guitar), Chris Braydon (guitar), Chuck Teed (bass/vocals), Clinton Charlton (drums/vocals), Dan Chamberlain (keyboard/accordion), Ali Leonard (violin), and Erin Howell Sharpe (cello). The group recently started recording its first full length CD, and will preview a number of the tracks at the show.
"For the past few months we’ve been bouncing back and forth between rehearsals for some simply fantastic shows and recording the album, " says Ogden. "If our Music NB week showcase a couple of weeks ago was any indication of what to expect both from ourselves and our audience, this show will be one not to miss. "
Tickets for the event at eight dollars in advance and ten dollars at the door. Advance tickets are available at Backstreet Records (124 Germain Street), or by contacting the band at pennyblacksgig@gmail.com.
