This week on No Simple Road we're proud to bring you Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski of Soule Monde! Soule Monde is avant funk erupting from the syncopated minds of power

drummer Russ Lawton + B3 wizard Ray Paczkowski. An ideal union of swagger and raw talent, the duo is cemented into an indestructible pocket, where bold improvisational leaps by either player are met by a near-telepathic response from the other. This is fluid funk, crafted for the dance floor but supported by an extensive grasp of jazz improvisation.

Ray & Russ hang out with us to talk about creating their upcoming album 'Mimi Digs It', what it was like being a beacon of hope for so many with 'The Beacon Jams', transitioning from a full band to a duet and the challenges that poses, who 'Mimi' actually is, the power of community in helping Ray through his tumor struggle, and a whole lot more!
