ThinkTwice
Bio – ThinkTwice
This duo featuring Robby Layton and Teresa Penbrooke discovered their mutual love of singing and playing while navigating the San Juan River in southern Utah in 2004. They began to write songs and share them, ultimately leading to the formation of the 5-piece band Windfall in Boulder, CO. Windfall was put on hold in 2013 when Robby, then one year later Teresa, were recruited separately to North Carolina to pursue funded PhD’s. They re-grouped there as ThinkTwice - a reference to their duo and academic pursuits - continuing to write and perform while completing their doctorates. Returning to Colorado in 2018, they revived another band, GhostBridge, and also teamed up with Song School classmate Patty Jackson to form the trio The Good Schemers.
ThinkTwice continues as a creative musical force. They provide a variety of opportunities to showcase original compositions and delightful collection of inventive covers that span the genres of rock, folk, and country across many decades. They capitalize on multi-instrumental and vocal harmonies to add interest and sparkle to every song.
With a rich repertoire spanning over five decades of classic and new originals, and covers awarded as finalists in songwriting contests, ThinkTwice genres range depending on the audience, occasion, and venue. Typically their sound is acoustic rock, Americana, folk, and slightly country, with songs ranging from the 1960s to current Grammy winners. Robby is an excellent lead guitar player and singer. Teresa sings and plays rhythm guitar, six-string banjo (a "banjitar") and often a cajon, stand-up snare, or other percussive instruments.
Teresa now has her home base on Coastal North Carolina and Robby splits his time in Colorado and Portland, Oregon. Both perform often together, solo, and in other bands. They travel to write songs, record , and play shows around the country and in Belize during winter months. They are also the leading energy behind the Herons Haunt collaborative.
