Bio

Halfpenny Orchestra is Bret Rooks and Ryan Miller, who both live in San Luis Obispo, California.

This year's challenge for us (again/still/always): Write as many songs as we can while not ignoring our respective wives or daughters. 2011 turned out to be a "fallow year" for us...a few songs half-written and that's about it for the time we've had. For 2012, it's too early to say.

Key Instruments & Software (for those interested in such things):
Eastman AC615 Acoustic Guitar w/ Schatten HFN Artist pickup
Hamer Electric Guitar
SX SPJ-62 Electric Bass
Yamaha Clavinova (borrowed from church)
REAPER (Multitrack Recording Software) - awesome, by the way

(It's pronounced "hape-nee." Or you can just type "HPO.")
