On Episode #72 of The Struggle is Real Buffalo Music Podcast is the first of two episodes with former Buffalo resident (and former band member of Ryan’s) Elliot Jacobson. Since leaving WNY, Elliot has gone on to play for Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor, Elle King and many others. He’s now a producer/writer/arranger/consultant in NYC. We’ll talk about the road that got him there, what it was like when Ingrid Michaelson hit it big, meeting Elle King for french fries the day she got signed and much more! Ryan is also going to yell about wanting to start a local radio revolution and we play new music from John Moore and Missing Star and Genecist.

NOTE: Sorry about the pinging noise in some of the segments. I’ll get my microphone situation figured out for next time. I think I was pounding on the table.
