Our setup is flexible, we can work with a wide range of spaces and volume requirements, and we keep the focus on making sure people are having a good time. Expect strong musicianship, lots of personality, audience interaction, sing-alongs, and a band that looks like they're having as much fun as your guests.
Brown Party Liquor String Band plays a rowdy, high-energy mix of honky-tonk, country, blues, bluegrass, rock, and beyond. Formed in San Diego in 2017, BPL has continuously brought the party to bars, breweries, festivals, private events, and just about anywhere else you can fit a string band. With an eclectic setlist, plenty of personality, and an anything-goes approach to roots music, BPL can get a crowd drinking, dancing, and singing along.
Our setup can scale from lower-volume acoustic performances to a full, high-energy amplified show. We have our own PA system which can comfortably cover most small to mid-sized venues and private events. For larger venues and festivals, we're happy to work with a house PA and sound engineer.
Our stage footprint is relatively small, and setup requirements are minimal. We can perform indoors or outdoors with access to power and appropriate weather protection. We can also accommodate venue-specific volume requirements. A stage plot and input list can be provided when needed.

Every member of Brown Party Liquor brings a different set of musical influences to the band, which is a big part of what gives BPL its sound. Our influences span rock, blues, honky-tonk, New Orleans R&B, funk, Latin music, punk, country, and traditional bluegrass.
That mix comes through in both our originals and our approach to covers. We might follow a Bill Monroe tune with Cameo, Hank Williams with the Beastie Boys, or Muddy Waters with Nirvana—all reworked through the instrumentation and energy of a string band.
We're influenced as much by the spirit of the music as any particular genre: good songs, strong grooves, and music that gets people moving.
