Michael Penn
and
Aimee Mann
are currently on the road in a joint tour.However, Penn tells LAUNCH that even though he and Mann are married, the dual show works as two separate entities. "It's a show where we both have two very autonomous songwriters performing their songs," he explains. "I think that a similar situation could get into some problems if it was like a band -- an integrated band -- where there was shared songwriting and sort of egos could get into play. 'Well, what's happening? How much of this song is mine, how much of this song is yours?' Those kinds of things. That's not a problem for Penn and Mann, though: "We get on great. We're fans of each others work, so it's just really enjoyable." Penn and the Grammy-nominated Mann have been performing shows in New York this week and will continue through Saturday, Feb. 19. After a brief break, the duo will start up again in March for shows in Minneapolis (March 13), Chicago (March 14), and New York again on March 18 at Irving Plaza. -- Darren Davis, New York
