Australian-born PENNY IKINGER is a world-renowned guitar ace, singer and songwriter, with an international reputation. Highly regarded as a solo artist, she has toured the globe with musicians from the U.S.A, Japan, France and Australia, to great acclaim and instant fandom.
PENNY IKINGER's video for 'Boys in Town' was launched in Melbourne, Australia at 'A Celebration for Chrissy’, a fabulous fundraising event to mark the 60th birthday of rock and roll legend CHRISSY AMPHLETT (DIVINYLS), to honour her legacy and raise awareness around the issue of breast cancer. All funds raised from this event were donated to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer, Wellness & Research Centre.
Penny's friendship with Chrissy Amphlett spanned decades and their mutual affection for one another is evident when Chrissy interviews Penny in the rockumentary ‘Electra: The Music of Penny Ikinger’ (Burlesque Productions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk0H8B8PzcE
'Boys in Town' was released as a bonus track on Penny Ikinger’s TOKYO album, on CD by Kerosene Records (Japan) and as a vinyl single on Fantastic Mess Records (Australia).
