In episode 16, Micah McFarlane (no. 7 in a family of 12), talks about growing up in Minnesota, and how he got his unconventional start in the music industry as a tour manager with his siblings. At the age of 21, and without any experience, he put together a multi-band music concert, featuring his family’s band, Ipso Facto, in order to give them a platform. They were a reggae/rock band that eventually went on to open for bands like the Clash, and briefly scored a record deal with Epic Records in the late 1980s. Since then, Micah has worked as a tour manager for the likes of Cindy Lauper, Blondie (Debbie Harry), and Bob Newhart. These days, he loves to share his passion for agave-based spirits, as the CEO of Revel Spirits.
