June 16th at Golddiggers Velvet Penny will be performing a special selection of unreleased songs sharing the softer and more vulnerable side that is most tangible while alone with a single guitar. “It is always interesting when something is sideways and beautiful at the same time. When absorbing its artfulness you feel unsteady on your feet. ... you feel transported back in time or maybe side stepped into another universe of sorts. You feel pain but it is tempered by a surreal sense of pure escapism. It feels highly cinematic with peaks of animation coming in…” - Rob Dunker Curtis ‘American Pancake’ Presented by Gold-Diggers. This is an 21+ event
