Who is Penny and the Bandits?
Who the hell is/are Penny and the Bandits?
Penny and the Bandits is a Twin Cities music grouping, put together by Twin Cities-based performer, producer, and teaching artist Jen Scott.
She's written music for theater projects in the Twin Cities, including Chicago Avenue Project, projects through COMPAS, and her own Bring Your Kids! She's written a song a week since 2021 (they don't have to be good!), and is currently working with Matt Patrick of the Library Studio on PATB's second full length album.
As Penny and the Bandits, she's been lucky enough to be joined by James Rone, Samantha Baker-Harris, Will Roberts, Josh Kaplan, Matt Patrick, and is hoping to keep them for as long as they let her. <3 Special thanks to guardian angels Jim and Dennis of Table Salt Productions and neighbor Brianna Lane for coffee and songs.
