#28 - Elijah Russ | Mitten Backstage

<p>Fresh off his trip out west, <strong>Elijah Russ</strong> sits down for a discussion today on Mitten Backstage! Folks know him as a solo artist, a bandleader for the <strong>Elijah Russ Collective</strong>, and a freelancer that teaches, a former touring artist with <strong>Harper and The Midwest Kind</strong>, and a guest artist with groups like <strong>Gunnar &amp; The Grizzly Boys</strong> and <strong>Melophobix</strong>. We talk about his travels (including meeting <strong>Van Morrison's guitarist</strong>), upcoming music projects, and how his work/life balance has changed for the better as live music returns to Michigan.<br> <br> Note: Apologies for the audio quality, my computer wasn't displaying video correctly using my normal setup so I had to use my phone with Airpods for this interview. I appreciate your patience and understanding!<br> <br> ▶▶ <strong>Support Elijah Russ</strong>!<br> <strong>Facebook</strong>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/elijahrussmusic">https://www.facebook.com/elijahrussmusic</a><br> <strong>Instagram</strong>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elijahruss/">https://www.instagram.com/elijahruss/</a><br> <strong>Spotify</strong>: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3BTe748w8xXc56Ed257D9W?si=DtgxTTnASB-o9sjZlujOiw&amp;dl_branch=1">https://open.spotify.com/artist/3BTe748w8xXc56Ed257D9W?si=DtgxTTnASB-o9sjZlujOiw&amp;dl_branch=1</a><br> <strong>Great Lakes Live</strong>: <a href="https://youtu.be/fsFqTCa_opI">https://youtu.be/fsFqTCa_opI</a><br> <strong>Dogtown Session</strong>: <a href="https://youtu.be/XKBRw1GgdtY">https://youtu.be/XKBRw1GgdtY</a><br> <strong>Mind Your Business (Live at Third Coast Recording Company):</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/ZWwmUlmGXM8">https://youtu.be/ZWwmUlmGXM8</a><br> <br> Mitten Backstage is a podcast hosted by Michigan artist Dutcher Snedeker and centering on conversations around life, the industry, creative pursuits, and navigating the scene as Michigan creatives.
