Drawn together by their mutual love of music via an online dating app, My Forever DJ (aka Jeff and Diane) formed their power duo in 2018. In the summer of 2020, they chose to make music together as a way to grapple with the darkness the world was navigating as a result of COVID-19. They revised travel plans to focus on celebrating the rich musical history of iconic and lesser-known cities and their musical histories, stopping at cities that just so happened to be virus "Hot Spots" (hence the album name, "Southern Hot Spots"). Armed with Clorox wipes, a wardrobe of masks, Jeff's home crafted mobile recording studio, and a booklet of lyrics and music, they researched songs emblematic of the cities they would visit, recording music all along the 1,200 mile journey. The end result is a joyful, if imperfect, noise!
Diane is the one who knows the music. The encyclopedic knowledge, the dating-profile-saving Beastie-Boys-and-Neko-Case taste, the Bauhaus-in-Leeds-in-1986 story. She's Jeff's “forever DJ” — the person who picks what plays. And D, J — Diane and Jeff. Two meanings, one band.
