Penny Family, Ricky Tew & Called to Bless, Bluegrass Gospel Memorial Show, $15 Cover

We will be holding a memorial for all our coffee shop friends and loved ones that have passed on in recent years. 

 

The Penny Family is a North Carolina-based bluegrass gospel group from Beulaville, featuring Brent Penny (guitar/pastor), his wife Sonia (bass), their son Jeremiah (banjo/guitar/mandolin), and daughter Leah (fiddle). Known for their regional touring and heartfelt, faith-based music, they are a prominent family band in the Southern gospel-bluegrass scene. 

 

Ricky Tew & Called to Bless:

Ricky Tew has had a passion for music since he was a small child and has been playing music regularly since he was a teenager. Ricky has always primarily played gospel music, but Ricky says when he retired several years ago, he started going to Lorraine’s Coffee House and Music and that Lorraine’s inspired him to start playing bluegrass music. Shorty after his newfound inspiration, Ricky decided to form “Called To Bless” (a bluegrass/gospel band) and recruited Dennis Cash and Bob Dotson as core members of his Called To Bless band. Dennis and Bob have both played bluegrass music their whole lives, including professionally for many years. Additional singers and musicians are added to the band as needed. Ricky says Lorraine’s Coffee House and Music has been instrumental in his appreciation for bluegrass music and that he is always especially excited to be singing and playing at Lorraine’s.
