History
Ryan Hakker and Dustin Medeiros were friends since middle school, and had both been friends with Tommy McCarthy since high school. A previous band, Done For Good, included Hakker as singer, Medeiros as drummer, and McCarthy as guitarist. Done For Good came to an end after releasing a single album, due to Medeiros developing permanent tinnitus, which made him unable to play drums or "any excessively loud music". As a result, Hakker, Medeiros, and McCarthy, joined by guitarist Mike Jacobs, whom had known Hakker and Medeiros since high school and worked with Hakker in previous bands, and formed Poor Man's Poison in 2009, with McCarthy switching to the mandolin and Medeiros to the double bass.
Poor Man's Poison is a group of four friends from a small California farm town of Hanford. PMP consists of members - Tommy McCarthy, Ryan Hakker, Mike Jacobs, and Dustin Medeiros. These friends grew musically together in the form of many different bands such as Done For Good (look for them wherever you listen to music). Taking inspiration from Rock, Metal, Reggae, Blues, Soul, Hip Hop and R&B these friends gathered on the porch of a country home and let whatever happens happen. The result... Poor Man's Poison!
Poor Man's Poison has released 3 studio albums and 1 live album recorded at the Fox Theater in Hanford CA featuring local musicians. After an extended break to pursue school and careers PMP has now started working in the studio on new material.
