Now based in Santa Barbara, Penelope Salinger grew up in a musical family in Michigan. She began writing songs as a teen and composed sporadically until a songwriting course with Penny Nichols in 1989 inspired her to pursue it professionally. In 2008 she released her first CD — “I’m Here to Love” — produced by David West and mentor Kate Wallace, who described her style as “folk-lectic.” Tom Prasada-Rao and Ed Tree produced the next four CDs, which include two more in the “folk-lectic” vein — “Tiara” and “Joy in the Journey.” Her themed album “God Bless the Man Who Knows How to Use His Tools” celebrates the electricity between men and women. Penelope’s most recent CD — “To Remember Who We Are” — features inspirational themes and includes songs she's composed for the repertoire of the Threshold Choir, whose calling is to sing at the bedside for those at the end of life. She directs the local choir and finds this type of singing to be one of the most fulfilling uses of her musical gifts.
