On a more recent Thursday night in 2024, up-and-coming student artists took to the stage at the Electric Buffalo Records “70s Night” open mic. As an entirely student-run record label and performance venue under the umbrella of Cornell Media Guild, Electric Buffalo Records (EBR) is a creative hub for all student musicians. Many of the members are part of other musical organizations around campus, but they banded together a few weeks before the open mic to solidify a set list and seize the performance opportunity.

The EBR performance space is the “Vinyl Room” of the WVBR-FM headquarters, a house-turned-radio station on the corner of Buffalo St. and Stewart Ave.
