ATLANTA POP ROCK BAND PENELOPE ROAD RELEASE “CHANCE ENCOUNTER (LIVE AT CAPRICORN STUDIOS)”
Atlanta pop rock band Penelope Road share a live rendition of the title track from their new Chance Encounter EP, released this past October via Warner Records. Recorded at Capricorn Studios in the band’s home state of Georgia, the performance offers a fresh, intimate take on one of the project’s standout moments. Listen to “Chance Encounter (Live At Capricorn Studios)” HERE.
The new live version arrives on the heels of Penelope Road’s cover of The Eagles’ “Lyin’ Eyes,” also recorded at the historic Capricorn Studios for The Recording Academy’s Reimagined series. Watch their rendition HERE.
Together, these releases circle back to the essence of the Chance Encounter EP. With its romantic heart-on-sleeve lyrics, dynamic full-band grooves, and impeccably warm harmonies, the EP captures Penelope Road at a moment of creative clarity and emotional depth. The project underscores the palpable chemistry that has made them one of 2025’s most talked-about live acts.
Penelope Road is closing out the year with three hometown shows in Atlanta this month (Dec. 18–20), with the first night already sold out and the remaining two nearing capacity. Just last night, the band supported Teddy Swims’ Kegsmas charity show at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta, GA. These shows cap off a standout year on the road for the Atlanta quintet, who have sold more than 20,000 headline tickets in 2025 alone, with nearly every date selling out in advance. Their U.S. summer tour supporting Lake Street Dive and Goose was a major highlight, bookended by festival appearances and headline shows. Now Penelope Road is taking that momentum into 2026 with a North American headline run kicking off February 13 in Brooklyn, NY. Dates below and tickets HERE.
Formed in Atlanta in 2022 while still in college, Penelope Road quickly built a grassroots following with their blend of rock, soul, and pop, rooted in impeccable musicianship and five-part harmonies. Drawing inspiration from icons like Steely Dan, Hall & Oates, and the Eagles, as well as contemporary boundary-pushers like Mk.gee, the band has earned praise from HITS Daily Double for their “organically soulful pop-rock” and “impeccable stacked harmonies”, and Creative Loafing Atlanta, which declared the band “in a league of their own.”
