The Song Saloon | Songwriting, Live Performance, & New Music Discovery

By: Jordan Smith Reynolds
  • 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!

    Zack Fischmann, an LA based artist, makes the bold claim that music marketing "doesn't have to suck." He does make some pretty convincing arguments, and has plenty of success to show for it, jumping from 200 followers on Instagram to 33k+ in just a few months!

    Magic Nothing is an evolving project with a focus on helping independent musicians develop practical skills, share resources and exchange services.

    Check out Magic Nothing

    Listen to Zack's music project, Marmalade Mountain! His song "Drawing Circles on the Ground" is featured at the beginning of this episode.
