Penny Olivier's debut 6-song EP, Live at the Nuthouse, is proof that she can win over a crowd who is used to Kansas City's finest performing songwriters. Her contemporary folk style fits right in with her fine lyrics about relying on her own wisdom and strength as a woman when times get tough. You'll find hints of Suzanne Vega in her song, Three Shades of Invisible, and some fabulous lead guitar supplied by Doc Fuller. I think this performance will win you over, too.

Penny's CD is in my "always carry with you" collection. A real dynamite songwriter.

Bio
Born and raised in Michigan, Penny has been writing songs ever since she taught herself to play her first guitar, an Ovation that was a gift from her Dad. Little did he know the path that "darned guitar" would lead her down. She currently resides in Kansas City with her guitars and her cat, Hopper.
Her debut release, Live at the Nuthouse, was released in 2004 at the demand of her fans. The tracks speak of love, grief, and the ability to survive.
Penny is performing at various venues in Kansas and Missouri, and in regional showcases such as Women with Guitars - Chicago, Venus Envy - St. Louis, and the Kansas City Fringe Festival.
