Jenn’s moving voice fused with Matt’s seasoned guitar can be enjoyed by music lovers of all kinds, but especially those fond of having a good time. The duo is known for putting their own twists on familiar tunes; blending styles and swapping genres with ease and originality. Each Anchor&Arrow performance is tailored to venue and audience while always welcoming space for the unexpected.

JR and Veronica are joined by band members Mark Toci on guitar, Jason Ebersole bass/vocals and John Lynch on drums/vocals.
Special Feature
Blue Shadow Over a Steel City is a short film made by the students of LifeLink PSU, a State College Area School District special education program, which provides college-age students with disabilities the opportunity to take collegiate classes at Penn State University. The short film is about two detectives who’ve come up against their most difficult-to-crack case yet: the crimes of the Blue Shadow. In order to solve this caper, these detectives will have to believe in the unbelievable; and more importantly, believe in themselves.
