ABOUT THE RECORD

Through love, loss, moving on and holding on, Every Bright Penny serves as a reminder that growth comes piece by piece. A coming of age album with a wisdom beyond its years, Greene’s songwriting hovers around contemplation and hope.  

Every Bright Penny engages in a gentle tug of war where resistance rests. The often fictional topics behind Greene’s songwriting transformed into a vision of assisted foresight. The songs on the album explore the stages of a relationship from the hopeful anticipation to the series of regrets.

The first line of Greene’s song, “Wishing Well” inspired the album title:  “I could never tell you, but I’m in debt to the wishing well, cause I see your face on every bright penny.” 

It represents the proverbial two sides of the same coin. There’s the glimmer of hope in holding onto the possibility of what could have been while in the midst of moving on. The album also represents the small actions that contribute to growth and the ability to move forward.

For Greene the record encompasses her past four years in Boston, studying, waitressing, and working on her craft. She says, “It is a lot of small parts that came together to make a whole - coming from me jotting down lines in my phone on the train, on napkins at work, in margins of notebooks at school. Growth happens slowly, piece by piece, and I think this record captures me on that journey.

Greene recorded her first full-length record, Every Bright Penny, at Dimension Sound Studios in Jamaica Plain, MA. It was engineered, mixed and mastered by Daniel Cardinal, produced by Isa Burke of Americana trio Lula Wiles, and involves performances by musicians Maddie Witler on mandolin (Lonely Heartstring Band),  Grace Ward on upright bass, harmony vox, (Houndsteeth), Isa Burke on harmony vocals, fiddle, and electric guitar (Lula Wiles), and Sean Trischka on drums (Lula Wiles, Corporate Punk, Mattie & Debbie).
