The Well Pennies are an American folk-pop music duo, formed in 2011. The band consists of husband-and-wife Bryan and Sarah Vanderpool.
The Well Pennies were formed in Northborough, Massachusetts, later relocating to Los Angeles, California, and then Des Moines, Iowa. Bryan and Sarah met at a coffee shop in Northborough where Sarah was working. They started out occasionally supporting each other's solo acts, before deciding to form The Well Pennies. The band name comes from a line in the Tom Waits song "The Fall of Troy", where he sings, "The well is full of pennies."
The Well Pennies released their debut self-titled EP in 2012. The following year, their version of "All My Loving", a reworking of the 1964 song as a ballad, was featured on The Beatles covers album Beatles Reimagined, which also includes cover versions by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Leftover Cuties, and others.
They released their debut full-length album, Endlings, on January 27, 2015, featuring acoustic instrumentation and vocal harmonies, with the uptempo lead single "Drive". The single was inspired by a road trip the Vanderpools took when moving from Boston to Los Angeles. The Endlings track "The Echo & the Shadow" is the closing theme for the Spanish television talk show En la tuya o en la mía.Billboard magazine columnist Gary Trust named Endlings one of his top three albums of 2015.
