Penny & Sparrow — the Austin-based duo of Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke — have spent over a decade crafting some of the most intimate and beautifully crafted folk-Americana music in the independent scene. Their harmonies are as precise as they are emotionally devastating, and each Penny & Sparrow album from Struggle Onward to Finch has won them a fiercely loyal audience.

Opening the night is singer-songwriter Caleb Elliott, whose heartfelt storytelling sets the perfect stage for an evening of deeply felt music. Penny & Sparrow live shows are renowned for their hushed, communal atmosphere that draws the audience into every lyric.

Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM. 18+. Penny & Sparrow perform at The Orange Peel, 101 Biltmore Ave, Downtown Asheville NC. Don't miss this rare evening of acoustic soul among the finest concerts in Asheville.

The Orange Peel is Downtown Asheville's premier live music venue and concert hall, booking national touring acts across rock, hip-hop, indie, electronic, and beyond at 101 Biltmore Ave. With one of the best sound systems of any mid-size venue in the Southeast, the 1,000-capacity room keeps you close to the stage without the chaos of a larger arena. Downstairs, Pulp lounge streams the main stage live for a more relaxed alternative.

The sound at The Orange Peel is genuinely exceptional for a venue this size — you can hear every instrument clearly even on a packed Saturday night. It's the kind of room where you actually want to show up early and stay late. Seen everything from sold-out indie rock nights to hip-hop headliners here and it never disappoints.
