Poor Man's Whiskey

21+ Bar opens one hour before showtime. Show starts at 7:30 pm. 

Poor Man’s Whiskey is an Americana band which emerged from the Bay Area in 2001, rooted around the songwriting talents of Josh Brough and Jason Beard. Known for their popular tribute album “Darkside of the Moonshine” and multiple sold-out shows at the Fillmore, their sound is a blend of high-octane old time/bluegrass music 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. The band has released several new singles this year, with a new album on its way soon. 

See them live at Almost Famous Wine Lounge, an award-winning, new tasting room and venue located on Vasco Road in the heart of Livermore's wine, spirits and brewery district. Almost Famous Wine makes fifteen wines in diverse styles, and earned over 50 top industry awards since our debut in 2021.
