POM 08/21 N0. 2: Frank Pennisi and Peggy Mead

Podcast Open Mic

Frank and Peggy went to high school together in Ann Arbor, Michigan growing up in the turbulent 60’s. Out of high school a they and large group of their friends would gather nightly for a song swap. In the early 1970’s they started writing original songs influenced by Moody Blues, Harry Chaplin, Tim Buckley, Gordon Lightfoot and other folkies. They performed at Open Mic nights at the Ark Coffeehouse in Ann Arbor. Love of music carried them through many decades of separation, reuniting them in 2015 when they picked up where they left off, both musically and personally.
