Poor Man’s Whiskey celebrating Soho’s 30th Anniversary

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.
