Whiskey Puppy Band Bio:
Whiskey Puppy plays boot-stomping, mule-slapping traditional
bluegrass and old time music. The Portland, OR trio brings energy, humor, and
skillful musicianship to little-known songs and tunes searched out from the
repertoires of the early Southern string bands. Known for sweet three-part harmonies
and their collection of chew toys, Whiskey Puppy has been performing since 2001,
including their infamous 2005 “Kiss the Puppy” cross-country tour. They have
appeared at bars and festivals all over the West Coast, and in 2004 won the
“Not quite bluegrass”band contest at the Columbia Gorge Bluegrass Festival.
Whiskey Puppy features Rachel Gold (The Flat Mountain
Girls) on guitar, Justin Auld (Redwood Highway) on
banjo and fiddle, and Travis ‘Tater’ Harrison (Cocks
in the Henhouse, Jackass Willie) on bass. Justin and Rachel are honored to be
the first-Saturday hosts of KBOO’s (90.7 fm Portland) Music from the Truevine
show.
