Trading Tunes

What is Trading Tunes?

Trading Tunes is my way of celebrating the incredible songwriters in my community and beyond. In each episode, I sit down with a fellow songwriter for a relaxed, heartfelt conversation about music, creativity, and life. We each share a song—one of ours, one we love, or sometimes both—and let the music guide the dialogue. It's part interview, part hang, and all about connection through song. I hope you'll tune in and discover some new favorites along the way.

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Kat Reinhert, an award-winning songwriter, educator, and artist whose music blurs the lines between jazz, pop, and folk. We dive into Kat’s creative process, creating, practicing, and how teaching and performing feed each other. Then we each share our original songs, raw, live, and from the heart. What you’ll hear in this episode: A deep, real conversation about Kat's background Kat’s insight on balancing artistry and hard work. Two original live performances—one from Kat, one from me (and a bonus song for fun) Whether you’re a fellow songwriter, music lover, or just here for some inspiration, this one’s for you.
