Episode 53 - Raised Rowdy

In this Tailgate Beers episode at Tailgates N' Tallboys in Bloomington, Nicky T and Matt from Raised Rowdy talk about becoming the festival’s official hosts, building a community-driven brand in country music, and grinding through a packed summer of events and festivals. They reflect on watching artists like Josh Ross rise, spotlight emerging talent they believe in, and emphasize that the artists who succeed are the ones who outwork everyone else. The conversation mixes industry insight with plenty of festival chaos, merch talk, and stories that capture the rowdy, family-style culture surrounding the event.
