Born in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Count This Penny are the wife-and-husband singer-songwriter duo of Amanda and Allen Rigell.
In 2010, they made their way to Madison and have toured the country and released several albums.
They recently joined us in the WPR studios to play some new, unreleased songs, tell us about playing in a band with a spouse, and what it was like to jam with Garrison Keillor on “A Prairie Home Companion.”
