Season 1
Episode 1004
Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Before the stages. Before the crowds. Before Hoochenanny became Hoochenanny.
This is where it started.
Back in year one of Billified, Bill sat down with Tommy Brunett—the founder of Iron Smoke Whiskey, former guitarist for Modern English, and the guy who somehow turned Fairport into a vibe.
From being homeless…to playing for 30,000 people…to building a whiskey brand Forbes put on the map…Tommy doesn’t just tell stories—he is one.
Now, three years later, the Hoochenanny Festival has exploded—August 14–16 at Perinton Park, with artists like Grace Bowers, Guster, My Morning Jacket, Modest Mouse, and more…plus a free opening night.
This conversation hits different knowing what came next.
Tommy Brunett isn’t just cool…he’s a blueprint.
No assholes. No shortcuts. Just build something real.
Enjoy.
