My Favourite Elliott Smith Song S2 Ep5: Martin Courtney
Jun 27, 2019
18:55
Our guest today is the musician Martin Courtney. Martin is the lead singer and guitarist in the band Real Estate.
He’s been big into Elliott Smith since he was in high school and can even be found tweeting about Elliott from time to time – which is actually how we realised he was a fan in the first place.
In this interview, we discuss his favourite song pick, we talk about how he came across Elliott first time and Martin also mentions a producer he’s worked with who may have some hidden Elliott live recordings.
After we speak to Martin, we have a listener submission from Jessica Smith and we also talk more about our charity tribute show in London on 6th August (tickets are now available for this event here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/elliott-smith-50th-birthday-party-tickets-63494629145).
Hope you enjoy the episode!
