Diplomats of Solid Sound are Iowa City’s Ambassadors of Funk and Soul. With over 50 million streams to their credit, it’s clear that music fans crave the neo soul/r&b/funk sounds the band delivers.

With a new EP on the way Friday (“The Live EP”) and a performance coming up in June (Pravda Fest at Sketchbook), Doug and Forrest from the band join me for a fun 30 minute chat about the band, music and the need to find a rich financier who owns a plane.
