Filthy Rich and the Poor Boys
See Filthy Rich and the Poor Boys at Flounder Brewing!
Frontman Rich MacPherson is a 40-year veteran of the tri-state music scene and has been a fixture on many of the legendary blues stages and venues. An accomplished guitarist and vocalist, Rich has performed with blues legends such as James Cotton, Snooky Pryor, Pinetop Perkins and William Clarke. Rich’s beautiful blend of blues and groove rhythms keeps audiences coming back for more. Rather than pounding away at the listener, Rich understands that good musicianship and restraint are essential. Offstage, Rich MacPherson is a quiet man of few words, but put a guitar in his hands and buckle up for a treat. When not with the Poor Boys, Rich can be found touring with harmonica great Steve Guyger.
Rounding out the trio are Kent Miller on harmonica and Larry Ghiorsi on upright bass. Kent Miller is a dynamic harmonica player and singer who has been swinging the blues for decades on the NJ and NYC scene as well as at festivals from Pennsylvania to England and Portugal. In his years of performing, Kent has shared the stage with many blues greats, even sitting in with the legendary Muddy Waters for one memorable evening.
Bassist Larry Ghiorsi is a Brooklyn native and veteran of the New York City blues scene. He plays both upright and electric bass, covering a wide range of styles. He has performed with many blues artists and at some of NYC’s most famous blues venues, including Mannys Car Wash, Dan Lynch, Mondo Cane, Chicago Blues, etc. Currently, Larry is the bassist for the NJ based band, The Fermenters Trio, and works the tri-state area playing blues, jazz and Americana music.
