Poor Monroe

Poor Monroe is a New England-based group of longtime friends who share a deep love of modern and traditional bluegrass. Their exuberant performances, which feature meticulous polished vocal harmonies, scorching tempos, and compelling original and traditional material, have quickly catapulted them from brewery parking lots to showcase stages at premier festivals across the Northeast. These include the Green River Festival, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, the Podunk Bluegrass Festival, Ossippee Valley Folk Festival, and the Back Porch Festival. In addition to receiving two New England Music Award Nominations, Poor Monroe has recently released their first album — a self-produced, eponymous collection of originals and favorites that both pays homage to their influences while announcing themselves as a new, unique voice in bluegrass music.

Poor Monroe's members are:
Eric Lee, (guitar/fiddle)
John Benjamin (mandolin)
Sean Davis (guitar)
Chris Boucher (banjo)
Gareth Buckley (bass).
