Whiskey Sour Happy Hour was a 5-part online variety show hosted by Ed Helms and The Bluegrass Situation. It ran during the early months of the 2020 pandemic as a means to cheer people up and raise funds for out-of-work musicians and PPE equipment for healthcare workers. It featured all our favorite Americana bands and comedians performing remotely for this very special event. I lettered the core brand and created pantry-style illustrations and layouts that shifted for each unique episode. This project was designed at The Made Shop.
Whiskey Sour Happy Hour not only offered much needed joy during a time of collective grief, it raised over $50k for MusiCares and Direct Relief.
