Mick Fury: From LA to Nashville & The Art of the Genre-Hoppin' Brand

In this episode of Two Beers With The Band, I sit down with Mick Fury to discuss his "all over the place" musical journey and the realities of being an indie artist in the modern industry. We crack open a Celebration Bavarian Doppelbock from Ganger brewery—a 6.7% ABV beer that is rich in caramel, vanilla, and malt notes with very little bitterness. Our conversation kicks off with some nostalgia as we reminisce about drinking Guinness at McNamara’s and the "different monster" that is a Guinness overseas.   Mick shares the creative process behind his diverse sound, which spans from country vibes in "Good Afternoon, Tequila" to his humorous and soulful Christmas videos. Having lived and pursued music in the "Big Three"—LA, New York, and Nashville—Mick provides a unique perspective on the grit required to succeed and the importance of finding personal fulfillment over just playing massive arenas. We also dive into his experiences collaborating with writers from across the country and why he believes every artist must eventually view themselves as a brand to thrive.
