Count This Penny is from Madison (Wisconsin) by way of East Tennessee. They write songs born of doggedly traveling to and from the hills of home.

Since their first show at the Down Home’s Open Hoot in 2009, CTP has appeared on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion, Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television’s 30-Minute Music Hour, and WDVX’s Blue Plate Special in Knoxville, Tennessee. Following their national radio debut in March, their EP hit the #6 spot on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart.

“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.” –The Onion’s A.V. Club, Madison, WI
