Rocking Punk/ Bluegrass Band "Old Man Markley" Plays Whiskey's Friday 27th

An amalgam of LA’s finest punk bands and seasoned
bluegrass musicians, Old Man Markley is creating music that defies boundaries.
Founded in 2007 in the sunny San Fernando Valley, OMM cut its teeth playing
countless jams of bluegrass standards and covers of distinctly un-bluegrass
songs done bluegrass style.  Soon, out of the chaos grew original material that
combined everything the band loved about all the different styles of music the
members grew up playing and writing. The band played its first official show in
2008 at a small bar called the Old Towne Pub in Pasadena. The show yielded a
capacity crowd and sold out of beer, and people literally danced on the bar.

    Now three years strong, the love for Old Man Markley continues to grow. The band’s debut album
“Guts ‘N Teeth,” was recorded by Joby Ford of L.A.’s punk champs The Bronx and
released in January 2011 on Fat Wreck Chords. OMM has had the honor of sharing
bills with such legendary acts as NOFX, Flogging Molly, Against Me!, Bad
Religion, Wanda Jackson, the Devil Makes Three, Youth Brigade, and The Reverend
Horton Heat. Look for OMM to be having fun at every show– and for the crowd to
be having even more.

Check Them Out @ Whiskey Jacques Friday January 27th. Band Starts at 10PM. $5 Bucks at the Door.
