HistoryFormationThe Well Pennies were formed in Northborough, Massachusetts, later relocating to Los Angeles, California, and eventually to Des Moines, Iowa. Bryan and Sarah met at a coffee shop in Northborough where Sarah was working. They started out occasionally supporting each other's solo acts, before deciding to form The Well Pennies.[1] The band name comes from a line in the Tom Waits song "The Fall of Troy", where he sings, "The well is full of pennies."[2] Debut EP and EndlingsThe Well Pennies released their debut self-titled EP in 2012.[1] The following year, their version of "All My Loving", a reworking of the 1964 song as a ballad, was featured on The Beatles covers album Beatles Reimagined, which also includes cover versions by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Leftover Cuties, and others.[1][2][3] They released their debut full-length album, Endlings, on January 27, 2015, featuring acoustic instrumentation and vocal harmonies, with the uptempo lead single "Drive".[4] The single was inspired by a road trip the Vanderpools took when moving from Boston to Los Angeles.[2] The Endlings track "The Echo & the Shadow" is the closing theme for the Spanish television talk show En la tuya o en la mía.[5] Billboard magazine columnist Gary Trust named Endlings one of his top three albums of 2015.[6] In October 2015, The Well Pennies performed in Anchorage Alaska alongside the Anchorage Youth Orchestra which spurred a series of shows where the band collaborated with youth orchestras. [7] The Well Pennies were also the opening act for Diana Krall for part of her "Turn Up The Quiet World Tour".[8] Murmurations and a Move to the MidwestThe Well Pennies relocated to Des Moines in the summer of 2016 after 7 years in Los Angeles and started the record label and recording studio, Golden Bear Records. They signed Boston-based artist Kaiti Jones and produced the album Vows which was released November 17th, 2017. [9] The Well Pennies sophomore LP, Murmurations was released on February 25th, 2019, featuring the single Ooh La La, which No Depression called "...folk/pop perfection".[10] The albums second single and music video Oh My Blue Sky was premiered by Billboard Magazine who described it as "...the joyful, try-not-to-handclap-along-you-can't 'Oh My Blue Sky' from Murmurations." The band explained, "The song was written as an encouragement for when we're feeling discouraged or worried or just struggling while we try to figure out who we are and what place we have in the world."[11] Members
