Pour Taste In Music: MT Jones on JOY, Songwriting & the MT Manhattan

We started with a drink. For MT Jones' episode of Pour Taste In Music, we made the MT Manhattan — a riff on a classic Manhattan built around Green River Honey Bourbon, Amaro Montenegro and sweet vermouth. Then we sat down and talked about everything that led MT to JOY: the bar gigs that disappeared during lockdown, the “what if?” moment that pushed him toward making his own music, his love of relentless creative output, and why some of the saddest songs can also be the most beautiful. We also get into “Why I Cry,” the artists he looks to as north stars, and what it's like to live with an album after you've finally put it out into the world. Filmed at Verna in Nashville, TN. --- *Pour Taste In Music* is a Soundtrack My Drink series where music and cocktails meet. 🎵 Listen to MT Jones: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0DLNL...   / mt-jones   🥃 Green River Bourbon:   / greenriverdistillingco   📍 Verna:   / verna_nashville   Follow Soundtrack My Drink on Instagram: @soundtrackmydrink #MTJones #PourTasteInMusic #GreenRiverBourbon
