It’s no secret that many local musicians have day jobs, and Atlanta’s neo-funk instrumental outfit Cadillac Jones is no exception.

The band’s bassist, John Renaud, has worked as a lawyer for Turner Classic Movies for over two decades, and recently, his band life and work life collided.

Renauld’s attention was drawn to the TCM podcast “The Plot Thickens: Here Comes Pam,” which explores the life and career of actor Pam Grier, best known for heroic roles in Blaxploitation films like 1973’s “Coffy” and 1974’s “Foxy Brown.”
