Saint John indie-folk outfit Penny Blacks will make their Blue Olive debut November 18 at 8PM. A Saint John Music Award winner, and recent Music NB showcase artist, Penny Blacks are part of an all-star lineup that includes Galaxie Rising Star nominee Clinton Charlton and The Formers, and emerging songwriter Babette Hayward.

Penny Blacks features several members of the Saint John music community, including Ogden (vocals/guitar), Chris Braydon (guitar), Chuck Teed (bass/vocals), Clinton Charlton (drums/vocals), Dan Chamberlain (keyboard/accordion), Ali Leonard (violin), and Erin Howell Sharpe (cello). The group recently started recording its first full length CD, and will preview a number of the tracks at the show.

Tickets for the event are eight dollars in advance and ten dollars at the door. Advance tickets are available at Backstreet Records (124 Germain Street), or by contacting the band at pennyblacksgig@gmail.com. Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=106340632766667

All monies raised will go to Ali and Joe and their family. A large event is being planned for later in the year. It's open to the public, so feel free to spread the word.
