Count This Penny, Small Houses, and Paul Otteson at High Noon Saloon
Folks may have a faint idea of what to expect from a band that describes what it does as “Appalachian pop,” but they’ll likely be surprised by how instantly inviting Count This Penny sounds. The band’s warm vocal harmonies are as vast and encompassing as the cultural region from which it draws its name. On 2011’s Gone EP, Allen and Amanda Rigell’s voices rise up and get tangled together while all manner of acoustic string instruments (banjos, violins, guitars) pick and pluck away on “Plymouth Duster.” It’s music steeped in old American traditions, but the concise form the songs adhere to and the pop structures the band employs make the songs modern and streamlined enough to thrive far from the mountains where their inspiration first saw the light of day.
