Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas

San Diego’s Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas have developed a reputation among local craft breweries, Irish Pubs and numerous outdoor events for its rousing, crowd-pleasing, eclectic performances. Often incorporating and encouraging crowd participation, with a playlist that runs the gamut from Irish traditional, Classic Country, Bluegrass, and Classic Rock, they draw a wide range of appeal for all ages. This 8 piece acoustic band was founded in the summer of 2011 by San Diego rock band veterans: Jack Laux, Steve Hoshko, and George Davis, looking to explore the connections between Irish traditional music and American roots music, infusing a rock band delivery, while still utilizing all acoustic instruments. As the Fellas’ reputation grew at various breweries, pubs and local parties, they were soon invited to perform on the Hornblower Yachts “Brews Cruises”, numerous festivals on the Bahia Bell, a classic sternwheeler party boat, the O.B. Street Fair, the Adams Ave. Street Fair, Balboa Park’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade Irish Festival, Balboa Park’s Twilight In The Park series, and December Nights Festival, San Diego’s Shamrock Festival in the Gaslamp, the Mission Valley Craft Beer and Food Festival, Gator By the Bay, as well as being the opening act for The Young Dubliners, one of the great Irish rock bands of all time, at The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach.

As the Fellas are close to completing their third CD of all original music, they are focused on getting their music out to as many listeners as possible. The Fellas have both their second full-length CD of original music, ‘Second Pint’, as well as their first CD, First Flask’ available on Amazon, iTunes and wherever songs are sold. They have their own music station featured on Pandora as well.

Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas

Ode to Jimmy Butters is a true story about a man named Jimmy Butters, his friends and a local Irish pub in San Diego called the Blarney Stone. From dinner time on, transplanted lads from across the pond, all sit in the corner of this now famous pub, telling stories from home. Where the bigger the lie told, the more truth it holds.

You wouldn't

Ode to Jimmy Butters is a true story about a man named Jimmy Butters, his friends and a local Irish pub in San Diego called the Blarney Stone. From dinner time on, transplanted lads from across the pond, all sit in the corner of this now famous pub, telling stories from home. Where the bigger the lie told, the more truth it holds.

You wouldn't think you'd see men of this age sitting in their own reserved section and personal bar stools of the pub each with a beer on the bar, a beer in hand and their free hand waving in the air like deaf people screaming at each other. The more beers get necked, the taller the tale grows and thats when the Blarney starts to flow...

Its a feel good song and a feel good story about the life and times of the late Jimmy Butters.
