Ray's List Live: Jerry Ryan

For bands from as far away as California this weekend is about musical independence.

Smithville’s Jerry Ryan has set up The Elephant Talk Indie Music Festival 2011 in Atlantic City.

The event will make independent new bands the star on 2 indoor stages and one outdoor stage.

The festival was Friday,Saturday and today, Aug. 7 at The Bone Yard, The Bones Yard’s Out Door Stage and at The Grande Fromage.

Each band is hand picked by promoter Jerry Ryan based on his list of what makes a great indie artist. Jerry sat down with me at The Richard Stockton College radio station WLFR to discuss the Elepehant Talk Festival. Here’s list of why The Elephany Talk Indie Music Fest will be the most exciting place on earth this weekend.

• Free Parking-You can park as much as you like at The Grand Fromage Lot and simply walk back and forth to all 3 venues. That’s the best deal in Atlantic City.
• Girls Girls Girls-Whereever there are bad boy musicians, there will be cute girls.
• You Can Get With This Or You Can Get With That-The choice is yours with three stages of artists there are rockers, rappers, poets, and even more types of music that will mix and blend genres.
• The Future Is Now-The Elephant Talk Festival may be the first time you hear of these bands but you will mostly hear much more from them in the future.

Today the music starts of at noon and goes until early the next morning.
