Come and see them in a cozy and comfortable venue - up close and personal on the Groovacious Sound Stage! Victor & Penny are Jeff Freling and Erin McGrane. With a fiery ukulele and a red-hot jazz guitar, Victor & Penny put the swing, the jump, the dance and the roll in early twentieth century rock and roll. This Kansas City based duo brings antique pop to life with their sonic archeology as well as creating clever original songs. With the lady on ukulele and the gentleman on jazz guitar they impress and delight with charm and hot licks - they are "...an absolute rollicking blast." They have the pop for which pop music was named!  Admission is just $5 at the door. Here is the Spectrum article by Brian Passey: www.thespectrum.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013311140036
