Soulfarm Guitarist Featured on the Real World
Guitarist C Lanzbom was profiled in the original Jam Bands book along with his band Inasense, a group that still performs as Soulfarm. Bunim-Murray productions and MTV have also recently licensed a library's worth of Lanzbom’s songs (over 30) for such shows as Bad Girls Club, Real World- Sydney and Real World- Brooklyn. Last night, astute viewers may have noticed that two Lanzbom songs made their TV debut on Real World- Brooklyn: “Child Inside” by Lanzbom’s band “Fools For April” and mistakes by the guitarist’s band “Skyland.” Lanzbom will appear next at College Park, MD’s Santa Fe Cafe.

"One minute a listener might think he's been transported back to the heyday of 60's jam bands, in a smoke-filled bar with Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts sitting with members of The Band.

Their music is the sort of stuff that makes you move." - Baltimore Jewish Times
