Individually Strong, Collectively Brilliant

The name "Sour Mash" refers to a whisky blend, and their intoxicating jams will make you lose your equilibrium
Connor's Pub
6331 Ferguson St
Indianapolis, IN
In Broad Ripple village, bands don't play gigs- they throw parties. It is standing room only as Sour Mash packs this intimate irish neighborhood bar wall to wall with thirsty partygoers. Whisky is a creative lubricant and a fine accompanient to 'Jesus Etc.' by Wilco as Mark Benham uses rock star charisma as he leans into the microphone, tosses his cascading waves, and jams on the harmonica. It should be illegal to be so good looking.
Richard 'Sleepy' Floyd soloed for an impressive five minutes on the drums while Ethan James, not to be outshone, performed his own extended solo. Ben Harper's 'Brown Eyed Blues'sounds like the Grateful Dead's 'Shakedown Street' until Joby Hurst yells, 'Where my hippies at?' and Brinkley's bass booms with badass authority.

West Side of Indianapolis~
Well Known for its left turn , left turn, left turn , it is also an area of creative genius.
May in Indianapolis is famous for its cultural diversity and strategic tourism. One of the hidden venues of the West Side is the Main Event. It spotlights tasty local music and a sprawling pool room with networking opportunities.
One of the bands with a standing gig here is Sour Mash.
Hailing from Broad Ripple, they bring an indie scene that is unusual to the West Side, and is uniquely appreciated by its patrons.
The West Side is a far cry from the college party bars deeper into the the city; expectations can quickly turn to dramatic disappointments.
Bands that play here with an ongoing wanderlust rarely make the cut - but Sour Mash has carved a niche here. It's all about the attitude that you bring to the venue.
With their Broad Ripple upbringing and traveling salesmanship,Sour Mash instinctively recognizes this. They seek gratitude in honoring the diverse chemistry of patrons' sensibilities and befriend the tough crowd.
No strangers to the road well traveled, Their musical savvy is evident in the cover songs they make their own, and they claim the West Side with their own unique blend of singer/songwriter ballads. During Flight of the Conchord's 'Business Time' , Joby Hurst employs mental masturbation as he sings lyrics to a striptease. "Do you know what time it is when I'm down to my socks....my business socks?" It quickly became a crowd favorite. Mark Benham and Colby Sandlian crooned "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" in a swanky harmony that brought a fresh spin on the classic.
Sounds cool :)
