Journey N 2 Sound Episode 7: What Is Black Music, Pt. 2?

We weren't intending to take the whole summer off, but...shit happens.

We're back, though, with a continuation of Episode 6, where we celebrated Black Music Month and essentially posited the theory that ALL music is Black Music.

For this episode, we are joined by Sandy Loam, a multi-disciplinary musician and a member of several bands. She offers her unique perspective on Black music and her experience as a performer of multiple genres.

Show notes are below, and we SWEAR we won't keep you waiting so long in the future!!
