A year ago, Laura Burhenn was part of the Bright Eyes touring band. Flash forward and the 32-year-old Burhenn has gained enough confidence to unleash her own torrent of green-minded, anti-corporate, pro-Occupy Wall Street views. An entire album’s worth, in fact, on Generals (Saddle Creek), her sonically adventurous sophomore outing as one-woman band the Mynabirds. In her previous incarnations as a solo artist and part of Washington, D.C., folk/rock duo Georgie James—and even on her soulful 2010 Mynabirds debut, What We Lose In The Fire We Gain In The Flood. Burhenn will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our latest feature on her.
Burhenn: We’re a whiskey crew through and through. Rye is popular these days, and for good reason. Bulleit Rye is our collective favorite. And it pairs perfectly with the most peppery ginger beer on the market, Blenheim Ginger Beer out of South Carolina. It warms you up in the winter and cools you down in the summer. The perfect drink for any season in our humble opinion.
