Who: Whiskey Sunday
Folk Rock
Los Angeles based Whiskey Sunday is Patrick Joseph Rieger, Chad McKinsey, Jesse Olema, Aubrey Richmond, Tom Moose and Bren Holmes. Rieger, from the icy-backstreets of Minneapolis, formed the band in 2012, combining his Americana roots with a hearty pour of revved up Irish-folk, prairie winds, and river-side cabin-hymns. Whiskey Sunday has opened for James Fearnley of The Pogues, Flogging Molly’s Ted Hutt, actor Ewan Macgregor and Marc Orrell of Dropkick Murphys. They released “Holy Water” in 2014, on Tam O’Shanter Records, the definitive heartland story for the Southern California audience. Music that asks you to pour something single-malt, sit on the porch, and sip reverently.
