Celebrating a time when style mattered and class was king, Victor & Penny feature tight harmonies, dazzling guitar work and a fiery ukulele. This corset-tight duo crafts clever original tunes and brings a modern voice to prohibition era jazz with charm and hot licks. Named, "Best Folk Ensemble 2015" by the PITCH Magazine and "Stand-out Concert of the Year" by The Joplin Globe, they are an "absolute rollicking blast."
Since 2010, Victor & Penny aka Jeff Freling and Erin McGrane have been delighting audiences nationally with their deft blend of originals, hot jazz and offbeat pop standards. While many bands exploring America’s musical roots are content to faithfully recreate period music, Victor & Penny and their Loose Change Orchestra infuse their music with a strong sense of swing rooted in the riff driven style of Kansas City jazz to create their own distinctive style.
