  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Song Saloon!

    Hi, I'm Jordan Smith Reynolds. I'm an LA based singer-songwriter interviewing artists I admire. If you love discovering new music, listening to intimate live performances, and conversations exploring the creative process…you’ve come to the right place!

    Each episode of the Song Saloon features an artist through the lens of a song. It starts with a live performance, followed by an interview with the songwriter about the featured song, and ends with the final recorded version.

    There is ALWAYS more to a song than what's on the surface. Getting to peel back the layers through live performance and talking about the stories behind the songs never fails to leave me inspired and eager to write again!

  • "Stonewall" by Brad Miles

    "Stonewall" by Brad Miles
    Jun 12 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Brad Miles is a singer/songwriter based in Texas. He’s written, played, and performed music for nearly three decades. He writes honest, heartfelt, accesible, and emotionally vulnerable Americana/Country.

    I do want to add a trigger warning for this episode, we do get into some heavy topics both in the song and the interview, as the song is about domestic abuse.

    Brad Miles’s goal as a songwriter and performer is simply to connect with others and share a moment of compassion, empathy, and understanding.

    Enjoy the episode!

  • "The House of Belonging" by Choral Arts Initiative (Jeffrey Derus)

    "The House of Belonging" by Choral Arts Initiative (Jeffrey Derus)
    May 22 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Today's episode I meet with Jeffrey Derus, our first featured choral composer! I think you'll find there is a lot in common with songwriting and composing choral works.

    This featured song is performed by Choral Arts Initiative, a small ensemble choir that I sing in that exclusively performs works by living composers. We recently released a #1 Classical Billboard charting album called "The Tapestry of Becoming," and this song "The House of Belonging" is the opener.

    This episode, Jeff talks about his creative process, collaborating with poets including David Whyte, the poet for this piece, navigating commissions, publishing, self-education, marketing strategies, and the significance of quality recordings in the contemporary music industry.
