Debra Penberthy, a Pasadena-based singer-songwriter, will play original music from her soon-to-be critically acclaimed EP, that she is in the process of recording and is coming out in the next few months, at Throop Theater on Thursday, July 17.
The debut party is a fundraiser with $10 suggested donation. Everyone is welcome (no one will be turned away due to lack of funds).
Debra reached out to fellow musicians and comedians for a night filled with eclectic music and peppered with comedy and fun.
Some of the acts that will join Debra and her band on stage are:
♦ Ty Fance – Comedian/Storyteller
♦ They Said This Was Going to Be Easy (Comedy)
♦ Nonna (Sam Keeble’s band)
♦ Eight-year-old singer Lois Delaney Hutchinson
♦ Robert Amerson, Singer-songwriter
Debra’s recording will include her song “Half the Sky,” written in tribute to the Half the Sky Movement to end systematic oppression of women and girls around world by the end of the 21st Century. This song represents the merging of her two halves–the musician and the lifetime activist for positive social change.
