We were lucky enough to snag music producer Eliot Lipp for Friday's Eight Forty-Eight. Though he's called all three coasts -- Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City -- his home, he lives in New York now, and is here for the weekend to perform at an after party for the North Coast Music Fest at the Bottom Lounge. He talked with Tony Sarabia, and also shared the above track, which was mixed for WBEZ.
