Tierney Brothers ‘It was pretty brutal’

LiSTNR
About this episode

Human Nature’s sibling duo Andrew & Mike have faced the highs and lows of the music  industry, from personal struggles and creative clashes to balancing family with fame. Their debut album as a duo marks a turning point, offering a unique window into their lives, struggles and triumphs.

In this raw and emotional conversation, the brothers open up about their personal battles with alcoholism, the pressure of living in Las Vegas during the mass shooting and the anxiety they’ve faced on and off stage. They open up about how their close-knit family has kept them grounded, and reveal the surprising truth behind their "squeaky clean" image. This is the Tierney Brothers like you’ve never heard before!
