Poor Man’s Whiskey presents a special two set evening of original music, and a second set of their world acclaimed “Dark Side of the Moonshine” (a bluegrass interpretation of the classic Pink Floyd album). The set is an interactive experience with a Wizard of Oz theme. Audiences are encouraged to come dressed as your favorite Wizard of Oz character. Prizes go to best costumes! Poor Man’s Whiskey is an Americana band originating in the San Francisco area in 2001. The music is rooted around the songwriting talents of Josh Brough and Jason Beard (who met in 1993 at the University of California, Santa Barbara). Poor Man’s Whiskey’s live show and sound is a blend of high octane old time/bluegrass music (often done on traditional acoustic instruments of banjo, guitar, fiddle, and mandolin) and a more psychedelic blues/jam rock style that calls upon their earlier influences such as Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers Band, and the Grateful Dead. Poor Man’s Whiskey seamlessly transitions between acoustic and electric styles with a carefully crafted commitment that revolves around well written songs and stories...while maintaining an exciting element of improvisation and the openness to let a song expand.
