How the band came to be.
What started as the side project of an electric-funk band took on a life of it's own and quickly overshadowed the funk. At first, playing bluegrass was a way to learn something new and practice music late without angering the neighbors. Then, people started paying attention and asking for it.The band grew organically, from the core of Jason Beard (Mandolin), Josh Brough (Banjo) and Gary Neargarder (Guitar) to include Chris Rovetti (Fiddle) filling out the traditional sound. Special guest Eli Jebidiah joined the band as a fixture on the Dobro in 2005 and George Smeltz on drums in 2006. Aspen Stevenson came aboard in 2008 on the double bass.
The name of the band comes from a fable told by Josh about the late Mississippi John Hurt being on tour with the Grateful Dead and being offered marijuana to which he replied: "That ain't nothin but Poor Man's Whiskey."
A part of the community.
Poor Man's Whiskey is proud to be an active part of the SF Bay Area community. The band has contributed performances for a number of community and charity organizations, including the Live Oak Preschool, SF School District, Ross Recreation District, Santa Rosa Parks and Recreation and Tamalpais High School.
