The Penny Stinkers began as a folksy “busking” band; however, through the last decade it
has grown into a unique, high-energy party band that balances trips down memory lane
with the latest in musical genres and hard-charging originals
.
As the Penny Stinkers primary lead vocalist, Jeffrey’s astounding vocal range and comfortable command of virtually any musical style he tackles ensures crowd-pleasing enjoyment by all within earshot. Jeffrey also provides a rhythm guitar backdrop to the Penny Stinkers sound. Jeffrey began performing as a musician, singer/songwriter and comedian with the United States Air Force. He subsequently toured throughout Europe for a number of years, playing venues that ranged from grand theaters to small town squares. After returning to the United States he studied musical theater and developed the powerful vocal style that has become his trademark. Jeffrey’s ability to move from smooth-edged balladeer to a forceful rasp reminiscent of Tom Waits — sometimes within the same song — keeps audiences spellbound and in rapt attention. In addition to performing throughout the United States and Europe, Jeffrey has used his command of music to teach high school students for over 20 years, and truly enjoys introducing young people to American folk music.
