# Event Details - **Event Name**: The PennyMen - Swingin Country w/ A Sprinkle Of Christmas Jams-Special Guest: Nate Dean & Kevin Blom - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: If you've got a heart that beats in 4/4 and a boot that leans toward a shuffle, you'll want to plant yourself at Knuckleheads Saloon every third Wednesday of the month. That's when The PennyMen take the stage — a five-man country outfit playing songs from the pre-bearded era, back when country music wore starch in its shirts and swing in its spine. At the helm is Patrick "Tater" Irvin, a singer with a name fit for a CB handle and a voice that rides the line between honky-tonk truth and steady dancehall swing. Folks might know him from Tater & The GravyTrain, a band that never met a Ray Price number it couldn't make its own. Tater doesn't just sing country; he remembers it. Every line he delivers seems to come with a memory attached. On steel — both pedal and console — is Russ Wever, a revered player whose tone is so rich it ought to be bottled. Russ has been everywhere: Branson, Nashville, and points beyond. He's backed legends, anchored barrooms, and played with the kind of subtlety that can make you cry at a major chord. When the fiddle calls, Matthew Wyatt answers with a bow that knows its way around both western swing and country jazz. Matthew cut his teeth with Swing Deville, his playing doesn't just fill space — it carves out territory, claiming the ground once occupied by Bob Wills and Johnny Gimble. Chase McRoy holds down the low end, giving the whole affair its engine and hum. Chase plays bass with a feel that can't be faked — part jazz club, part Texas dancehall, all groove. He's a listener's player, which makes him a player's player, too. On drums is Jim Lower Jr., a man who keeps time like he owns it. He's the swing in the shuffle, the stickman who can channel Smokey Dacus on one song and Buddy Harman on the next. Jim grew up in the KC jazz world but walks the country backbeat like it's home turf. And don't overlook the piano bench — Jake Herzog is there, playing keys with the grace of Floyd Cramer and the spark of Moon Mullican. His runs don't run away; they roll right up beside the melody and make themselves comfortable. Adding his six-string wisdom is Jeffrey Stocks, a KC jazz guitarist who brings chordal sophistication that makes country music remember its jazz cousins from over yonder. His playing is proof that jazz and country have always lived just across the holler from one another. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kansas-city/the-pennymen-swingin-country-w-a-sprinkle-of-christmas-jams-special-guest-nate-dean-and-kevin-blom/200029027037755 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, country-music-festivals, christmas - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 32 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://tickets.knuckleheadskc.com/orderticketsarea.asp?p=3353&a=1&utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=kansas+city-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Kansas City - **state**: KS - **country**: United States - **location**: 2715 Rochester St, Kansas City, MO, United States, Missouri 64120 - **lat**: 39.12052 - **long**: -94.54853 - **full address**: 2715 Rochester St, Kansas City, MO, United States, Missouri 64120 ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Knuckleheads Kansas City (https://allevents.in/org/knuckleheads-kansas-city/26001365) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a9e5867233467ac5443ba43ec3aad212df2f78de8d16ce5032f36be9718020e6-rimg-w851-h315-dcf2f2ef-gmir?v=1765487370 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/3d09186ac4d93ca4d52f6ad6da96c1fba737032f41e5ec87698cbed5ed7eb54c-rimg-w300-h300-dcf2f2ef-gmir?v=1765487370 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 2715 Rochester St, Kansas City, MO, United States, Missouri 64120 - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Knuckleheads Kansas City - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** music, entertainment, country-music-festivals, christmas - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about The PennyMen - Swingin Country w/ A Sprinkle Of Christmas Jams-Special Guest: Nate Dean & Kevin Blom ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MusicEvent", "name": "The PennyMen - Swingin Country w/ A Sprinkle Of Christmas Jams-Special Guest: Nate Dean & Kevin Blom", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a9e5867233467ac5443ba43ec3aad212df2f78de8d16ce5032f36be9718020e6-rimg-w851-h315-dcf2f2ef-gmir?v=1765487370", "startDate": "2025-12-17", "url": "https://allevents.in/kansas-city/the-pennymen-swingin-country-w-a-sprinkle-of-christmas-jams-special-guest-nate-dean-and-kevin-blom/200029027037755", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "2715 Rochester St, Kansas City, MO, United States, Missouri 64120", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "2715 Rochester Ave, Kansas City, MO 64120-1514, United States", "addressLocality": "Kansas City", "addressRegion": "KS", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "39.12052", "longitude": "-94.54853" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "If you've got a heart that beats in 4/4 and a boot that leans toward a shuffle, you'll want to plant yourself at Knuckleheads Saloon every third Wednesday of the month.
