My Girl Now - Music

Micky & The Motorcars Is An American Alternative Texas Country Band Formed In Challis Idaho Before Moving To Austin Texas. With Their Own Band Of Americana Rock The Band Brings An Optimism And Integrity Only Acquired When Its Been Performing So Long The Only Thing Left To Tell Is The Truth. Five Albums After MMC Was Founded In Challis Idaho In 2002 The Band Still Writes More Than 90 Percent Of Its Music As It Defines The Lives Of Brothers Micky Braun Vocals Acoustic Guitar Gary Braun Vocals Guitars Mandolin Harmonica Childhood Friend Mark McCoy Bass Kris Farrow Guitars Saxophone And Shane Vannerson Drums Percussion . Micky And The Motorcars May Be Self-Described As “a Little Rough Around The Edges ” But With Its Rocking Sound MMC Shares Real Thoughts Is Full Of Depth And Has A Honest Raw Emotion And Energy Bleeding Through Micky’s Heart Straight Out Into The Crowd. Anyone Who Has Ever Loved And Lost Or Loved And Drank Or Loved At All Knows Exactly Where He’s Coming From And What He’s Talking About In A Sincere Piercing Way. It’s Also Made Micky One Of The Most Sought After Songwriting Collaborators On The Scene And Consequently MMC Songs Have Credits To Brother Willy Braun Randy Rogers Cody Canada Former Jack Ingram Bassist Robert Kearns Who Now Can Be Seen Backing Lynyrd Skynyrd As Well As Kevin Dustin And Savannah Welch. Throughout Its Tenure MMC’s Braun Front Men Have Been Quoted Repeatedly As “just Wanting To Play Good Songs.” For Micky And Gary Whose Genetic Musical Legacy Precedes Them Playing And Singing Is Damn Near The Only Life They’ve Ever Known. The Boys Grew Up In The Western Mountains Playing Music With Their Family Older Brothers Reckless Kelly’s Willy And Cody Braun And Father Full-Time Musician Muzzie Braun . The Boys’ Paternal Grandparents Were Both Were Full-Time Musicians As Well And The Boys Watched Their Father Play In His Own Braun Brother Band With Their Uncles Billy And Gary. For MMC’s Braun Brothers They Hope To Create Their Own Legacy — Of Doing What Feels Good What Sounds Right And Hoping It Pays Off. So Far It Has. MMC Has Come A Long Way From Playing For Free And Sleeping On Random Floors And Couches To Its Most Recent Debut “Micky And The Motorcars Live At Billy Bob’s Texas” And Adding The Three-Disc Two CDs And One DVD Compilation To Its Discography. The Compilation Features Songs From 2002’s “Which Way From Here ” 2004’s “Ain’t In It For The Money ” 2007’s “Careless And 2008’s “NAÏVE ” Takes The Audience Member Center Stage To Experience Micky’s Edgy Boy-Next-Door Crooning And The Rocking Licks Farrow Throws Across A Driving Beat. Now Travelling Nationwide More Than 200 Days Year The Most Rewarding Thing For MMC Is Watching The Crowds They Perform For With The Same Raw Emotion From The Live Release Get Bigger As Micky And The Motorcars Head On Down The Road. There’s An Excitement Gary Says Never Really Knowing How Everything Is Going To Work Out. But The Ups And Downs Of The Road Somehow Make It All Worthwhile For The Motorcars Who Don’t Have Any Plans Of Slowing Down. read less
