Count This Penny (Madison, WI) was founded by Allen and Amanda Rigell as a songwriting duo in 2009. They were recently named one of Wisconsin’s ’10 Bands to Watch.’
“If you like the Everybodyfields, the Civil Wars, or some old school Gram and Emmylou, you will dig Count This Penny.”
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. 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.”
