3 Penny Acre In British vernacular, a rag and bone shop is a type of flea market, the kind of place through which junk collectors hawk their wares For Bryan Hembree, the notion of collecting and repurposing what he finds has direct relationship to songwriting. He and his bandmates in 3 Penny Acre find bits of material, then assemble them into songs. That, and further inspiration from a William Butler Yeats poem, led 3 Penny Acre to the songs on their most recent recording, “Rag and Bone.” The group will throw an album release party on Sunday (April 14) at George’s Majestic Lounge. Hembree and bandmates Bernice Hembree and Bayard Blain have been busy since the 2010 release of their sophomore album, “Highway 71.” They performed songs in the TheatreSquared production “Sundown Town” and crossed the country on tour.
