Mike's song 'Bottoms Up' was just requested to be used as one of the theme songs for the Saucy Sisters radio program "Sauced" on Clear Channel's WLAC 1510 AM Nashville. Their motto, "We're here to spread the word that, when it comes to wine, food and party-planning, girls just wanna have fun. No pretension. No anxiety. Just a good time." Well, they can't go wrong with 'Bottoms Up!'
