I think that the festival and the band are forever intertwined. 4 Peaks has depended on PMW in a big way to pull it thru some tough times and PMW has been there because of the leg up that the festival gave to the band. As 4 Peaks progressed, so did PMW and the relationship has been symbiotic since the beginning. When asked about the history, Walton said, “It was one of the first events where the band really connected with other national touring acts and that offered up some friendships that have lasted thru the years. I recently learned that Poor Man’s Whiskey and 4-Peaks have a personal connection that go back many years. With less than 500 tickets available, this is a true music lover’s festival. Set in a beautiful setting in the shadow of the Cascade Mountains, 4 Peaks has been a continually evolving festival that remains small in size to offer everyone in attendance the opportunity to get up close and personal with some incredible artists. On June 23 rd Poor Man’s Whiskey will play The 4 Peaks Music Festival in Bend Oregon which enters its 5 th year of operations in 2012. Opening up that night will be The Jugtown Pirates, a Quartet from San Francisco who bring a “full-on, energetic and grassroots show with four-part harmonies flowing in and out of a number of diverse genres including bluegrass, gypsy jazz, classical, blues, and psychedelic rock”. On April 21 st the band will take the stage at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, a perfect venue for the guys who can pack the place and guarantee a stellar performance every time. The band is growing fast in musical hubs such as San Francisco, Denver, Portland, and Seattle – they just need to get out there and show people what they are capable of and the rest will fall into place.” The band has garnered some serious momentum in the last year with sit-in’s by Michael Kang from String Cheese Incident and having American Artists handle their national booking.Īccording to the band’s manager Eric Walton, “ PMW has barely scratched the surface of their true potential, but they definitely have a lot of momentum right now. They guys from Poor Man’s Whiskey are gearing up for some big shows over the next few months. Written by Andrew Tuckman on 21 March 2012.
