Country, blues, folk, alternative rock, and a touch of jazz all come together in the world of Po' Girl. Think lazy melodies, sweet harmony, and mellow grooves and you've got a bit of an idea of how they sound, but the freewheeling Po' Girl always have a trick or two up their sleeve. The roots of the rootsy band lie in the winter of 2000. There was a revolving door's worth of artists and musicians passing through the East Vancouver house Trish Klein lived in. One of them was Allison Russell.
