From the UA:
Victor & Penny (Jeff Freling and Erin McGrane) – vocals, guitar and ukulele – have been performing their folk-jazz together since 2010 and building a national reputation. The Loose Change Orchestra, with James Isaac on reeds, multi-instrumentalist Kyle Dahlquist and bassist Rick Willoughby, adds an extra kick to the group’s blend of originals, hot jazz and swing.
