Bourbon Turntable - Mynd Reader (featuring Brian Sachs)

You need to listen to this self-titled album from Mynd Reader.  It is an amazing story set to incredible music.  I know you'll love the album and I think you'll also love my conversation with Brian Sachs (founder of Mynd Reader). In addition to talking about the album, we also sip on some pours from Leopold Bros. Deerhammer, and Nulu Spirits. Be sure to follow Mynd Reader on all social media and listen to them wherever you stream music.
