Details

Potcheen (pronounced PO'-CHEEN)  is the original moonshine whiskey brewed in the hills of Ireland. Potcheen in its Gaelic translation means "Little Clay Pot" thats how they brewed it from Potatoes.  

Potcheen was formed  at an Open Mic hosted by the Capn @ Cactus Jack's Saloon in Evergreen, CO,. One night  a tall young Irish lad with big glasses and Red dreadlocks came in and played Shanty's drinking and rebel songs and he Capn was hooked. Thus the band started unofficially in December 2003 as teh "Potcheen Folk band,a four piece with Founding Members Christian Blochinger and Christopher Shelby soon to be joined by bassist Dave LaMothe and Cellist Angela Kimber.
