Penelope Road is an Atlanta soul-pop quintet comprised of Max Moore (lead vocals/guitar),
Charles Eastman (lead vocals/keys), Koan Roy-Meighoo (vocals/guitar), James Kopp (bass),
and Anthony Smith (drums).
The band is on a mission to bring real, immersive performance
back, having sold over 20,000 tickets in the first half of 2025 alone. From jamming in a grimy
college house on Penelope Road to going viral with attic jam clips, the band’s grassroots
following led to a Warner Records deal, a self-titled 2024 EP, and sold-out dates headlining and
supporting Goose and Lake Street Dive.
Their second EP, The Diamond Street Sessions,
recorded at Diamond Street Studios with David Ryan Harris, showcased warm, groove-filled
tracks like “Out Tonight” and “Flowers (Carry Me Home),” while their 2025 EP Chance
Encounter features heart-on-sleeve lyrics and full-band energy.
Penelope Road closed out 2025
with three sold-out hometown shows and a feature on Grammy.com’s Grammy Reimagined for
their Eagles cover “Lyin’ Eyes,” and they’ll be taking that that momentum into 2026 with a North
American headline tour, marking them as one of today’s most exciting bands to watch
