Author: Todd Woodson November 1, 2019 Duration: 29:56
My guest is CJ Matheney of IZ:BE Music.  This band is located in Southern California's Inland Empire.  They are 4 guys who have been playing together for a long time.  CJ shares some of his experiences playing music throughout the world.  Join the Conversation.   I’m your host Todd Woodson.  The goal of this podcast is to make soul music relevant again. We realize that there are some great artist out there who are putting out some awesome music and yet they don’t the attention or airplay they deserve.   In our opinion, Soul/R&B is the greatest genre of music ever and it’s our goal to bring it back one band, one group, one singer at a time. Join us each week as we showcase an artist who embodies that soulful spirit.  For information, check out our website @ Bring Back soul music.com.  And Let’s Bring Back Soul Music together.
