Jason Beard Music PMW Tribute

Poor Man's Whiskey plays acoustic music with a rock-n-roll
attitude that fuses bluegrass, blues, reggae, folk and jazz.
Through fermentation and distillation, they've crafted an original
and modern American music that inspires you to move.

Though the exact location of their hideout is unknown, local
legends place it somewhere in the backwoods of the wine
country, between Pinot vines and a moonshine still, well protected
by small arms. Together, they have produced two full length
albums: Hunnerd Proof and Train to California and thrilled west
coast crowds for three years running.

Poor Man's Whiskey is known for creating a hoe-down wherever
they go. Their music has been featured on KRSH and KGO radio,
and they have headlined classic venues including the SF Bay
Area's Sweetwater, Rancho Nicasio and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.

How the band came to be...

The band grew organically, from the core of Jason Beard
(Mandolin), Josh Brough (Banjo), Gary Neargarder (Guitar) and
Tony Robinson (Bass) to include Chris Rovetti (Fiddle) filling out
the traditional sound and then Noah Logan (Drums) adding a big
beat for dancing. Special guest Eli Jebidiah often joins the band
on the Dobro.

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
Sierra Club, SF Unified Schools, Live Oak Preschool, Ross
Recreation District, Santa Rosa Parks and Recreation and
Tamalpais High School.
