Our guest in this episode is American bassist Joseph Conyers! Thanks to social media, Joe (@weatherclef) has become known worldwide for his approachable and warm personality as well as his absolutely stunning sound and technique. We had the pleasure of getting to know Joe on a more personal level, talking about his humble beginnings in Georgia, and how it informed his attitude towards mentoring youth. Joe started the non-profit Project 440 to use music as a tool to teach young people to pursue their passion in life. We talk about Joe’s philosophies on music education, “Play to Play”, and we even try to pin him down on his favorite weather app…so there’s something for everyone in this convo!
