Connecticut transplant Joe Roberto is the driving force behind Poverty Hash. As the principle songwriter, Joe took his 20 plus years of performing, song writing, and life experience and poured all of it into the music represented on this album. What emerged is an album of hauntingly beautiful imagery that includes songs like “Blood Stained Hands”, a warning to all bar loudmouths, standing in stark contrast to “Rally Cry”, a semi autobiographical portrait of the songwriter.

Joining Roberto is bassist and fellow founding member Jason Murray. A seasoned veteran of the Minneapolis scene, Murray joined forces with Roberto in Connecticut and brought him back when he returned to St. Paul. The two then enlisted the help of Robert Zemlin, a long time band mate of Murray and newcomer Dan DeMuth, a rising star on the Minneapolis scene whose other projects include Communist Daughter and Paranoid Dandroid. With these additions the current lineup of Povery Hash began making its mark on the local scene.
