This week I had a nice chat with Emmy-nominated Composer and two-time Grammy-nominated musician Jeff Russo.

Jeff is currently composing music for the 2nd season of the truly excellent TV show Fargo along with the 2nd season of the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson produced drama Power AND the new CSI:Cyber starring James Van Der Beek and Patricia Arquette. Add to that the fact that he’s also founding member, lead guitarist and co-songwriter of two-time GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum selling rock band, TONIC, and it’s fair to say, Jeff is a busy guy!

Thankfully he managed to squeeze in half an hour to have a chat with us about his life, work composing for tv & film, and juggling all that whilst still gigging with a successful rock band!

Listen to the podcast below, or if you want to hear more of Jeff’s music, you can download the Fargo TV Original Soundtrack here.
