Six Picks Music Club

Drinking | feat. Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, George Thorogood, Turbo Negro + more

Episode 046: Hold onto your cocktail umbrellas and prepare for a liquid-fueled musical journey that'll have you feeling tipsy without even taking a sip! In this boozed-up episode of Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are diving deep into the world of drinking songs faster than you can say "last call”—starting with George Thorogood's hard-rocking bar anthems, sliding into Todd Snider's cheeky underage rebellion, taking a wild turn with Turbo Negro's punk rock libations, floating down Willie Nelson's whiskey river, cruising with Snoop Dogg's street-rolling revelry, and finally capsizing with The Poxy Boggards' epic binge soundtrack. But it's not all just shotgunning tunes and chugging musical memories—the guys also takes a moment to examine drinking culture and the rise of mocktails. So whether you're sipping a craft beer, taking a shot, or nursing a mocktail, this episode promises to be more intoxicating than a gallon thermos filled with long island iced tea.
