TRANSCRIPT:

Hey everyone. Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to let you know that there is explicit language in the song, but not in the interview itself today. This is Georgia Parker and her song "Twin Flame."

[00:00:19] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Welcome to the Song Saloon! I'm singer songwriter Jordan Smith Reynolds, and I'm here today with Georgia Parker. Los Angeles based songwriter and storyteller from Kent, England, Georgia Parker places an emphasis on powerful vocal performances and poignant lyricism to draw out an emotive response from her listener.

She has been releasing music and performing around the U. S. since moving to the States at 18. Her unique tone and emotive delivery have proved to set her apart as an artist, akin to legends such as Joni Mitchell and Alanis Morissette. She is currently finishing up an album to be released next year. I met Georgia at this really cool backyard style concert where she performed with the Orchid Quartet, which is a string quartet also based here in Los Angeles.

Thanks for being here, Georgia.

[00:01:06] Georgia Parker: Thank you for having me.

[00:01:07] Jordan Smith Reynolds: I'd love to hear a bit more about the song you have today. "Twin Flame." tell me a little bit about it.

[00:01:12] Georgia Parker: Totally. that song I originally wrote or finished in 2021, so it's been a little bit, but I, the inspiration behind that song initially was just, uh, I wanted to write a song about what I imagined it would be like to have a twin flame. Which is supposedly just, some kind of intense relationship, whether that be good or bad or jumping between those two things, just, you know, intense in either direction.

and I thought it would be fun. to write about that and, you know, draw inspiration from my own life. and yeah, that's kind of what I did. And, it came together pretty, easily, although I didn't, you know, when I finished it, I didn't know exactly how I felt about it. And it just kind of grew on me over time.

And yeah, now it's a really special song or part of this, this album that I've just finished.

[00:01:58] Jordan Smith Reynolds: That's wonderful. when I think of twin flame, I think of more of that kind of passion side, right? and maybe I, I haven't used twin flame very often, but do you see there's also kind of like this darker side? And there definitely is in the song. have you noticed that just in the use of the phrase

[00:02:14] Georgia Parker: Yeah, I think I just, yeah, I think I've just, you know, hearing people talk about it or just, you know, and whatever truth there is to that kind of thing, it's seeing other people's, you know, my friends relationships or whatever, and TV and stuff like that, you know, the difference between a soulmate and a twin flame is just, you know, a twin flame is not necessarily like, you know, The person you are, like, supposed to be with, right?

Even if it's like, really amazing at points, it can also be like, really intense in a bad way. And that's, you know, that's kind of, I guess that's kind of what I based the whole song about, is that sentiment and, you know, the bridge where it's like, I don't think it has to be me and you, kind of.

Thing. Yeah.

[00:02:55] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. So it has all that strength and connection that you might expect in a soulmate or something, but also dangerous, like fire. So,

[00:03:05] Georgia Parker: Exactly.

[00:03:06] Jordan Smith Reynolds: yeah. I love that. Um, and you mentioned this is going to be on your record and you have this, this record. This is coming out this year,

[00:03:14] Georgia Parker: Yeah, I need to update my bio. yeah, it's coming out this year that I'm putting out Twin Flame. I mean, obviously it will be out by this time this is out. Um, and then yeah, it is. And yeah, then the album will come.

[00:03:31] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Wonderful.

Um, tell me a little bit about the album creation process.

[00:03:37] Georgia Parker: Yeah, well, it's, I've, I've been working on it with, my producer for, uh, you know, about two years is kind of how long it took. Um, and you know, we, stuff came in the way to make it take that long, but also it was, um, it was kind of a great, I don't know, during that time I wrote more songs and the track list kind of changed and grew and, um, it feels pretty cohesive now in a great way.

And, um, Yeah, it was mainly me and Philip,

That's Phillip Etherington Georgia's partner and producer.

[00:04:13] Georgia Parker: working together the whole time and we had help from a few other people. but it was sort of just a bit of a labor of, love and yeah, I don't know. Some songs didn't come together all that easily. Some did and yeah, just took our time kind of.

[00:04:30] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah, that's, I think that's a really good question. Nice. I mean, it can be frustrating. I imagined with, you know, Oh, I want to get this thing, you know, produced and ready to go. as artists, it's always nice to have more music out there for people to listen to, but I imagine it did have a lot of benefits to take your time and to really see the album take shape and, and adjust over, over that time span.

[00:04:54] Georgia Parker: Yeah. You know, obviously at the beginning. I mean, when things start to feel like they're slowing down, I, you know, the, my immediate reaction is just like, Oh my God, I want to finish this and put it out. But I kind of just like succumb to the fact that I, you know, I wanted to finish the whole thing before I put anything out and have be really certain about like every aspect of it before, you know, just if it takes two years, it takes two years, you know?

[00:05:18] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. One thing for me is like attachment to songs kind of changes, right? Yeah. Have you noticed that with this, like, um, it sounds like you changed some of the songs that you put on the album, but, that could be really frustrating to have a lot of investment in a song or two, and then just realize after a few months, like, oh, maybe it's not the time anymore for that song.

[00:05:41] Georgia Parker: Kind of.

[00:05:41] Jordan Smith Reynolds: did you have, did you have that happen much on this record?

[00:05:45] Georgia Parker: Yeah. I mean, the, yeah, I mean, there were definitely a few songs that are a little bit older and like, you know, I've been attached to, and I was like, you know, they're making it on no matter what. Um, but yeah, there were plenty of songs that I thought, Oh, this is great. And then it's on there. And then, you know, like up until not all that long ago, there were songs that we just decided didn't fit.

And, Yeah. And that's kind of, you know, it was mixed feelings. Cause it's like, okay, well, at least I've figured it out. And, but it's also like, Oh, so much time invested,

[00:06:19] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah.

[00:06:20] Georgia Parker: but. It is what it is.

[00:06:23] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah.

[00:06:24] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:06:24] Jordan Smith Reynolds: So Twin Flame, that has been around for a while. You said it, came about in 2021 is when you wrote it.

[00:06:30] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:06:32] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah, production process wise, has, have you been working production since then? Or what's that look like?

[00:06:38] Georgia Parker: well, we, yeah, I mean, we actually first demoed it, I guess in like October of 2021, and then came back to it maybe a year later. And it sound, you know, it sounded a little pretty different than what it ended up sounding like. And yeah, it went through a couple stages. But, yeah, of all the songs, that one wasn't too difficult, really, cause, to bring together.

I don't, for whatever reason, I don't know, but we just changed our minds about a couple of things. but yeah.

[00:07:09] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah, that's great. I want to dive into the song more, but let's go ahead and turn to the live performance now All right. Thank you so much.

you played the song at the backyard concert. I went to right with Orchid

[00:11:20] Georgia Parker: I did, yes. Yeah.

[00:11:21] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Okay. Yeah. I do remember hearing this song, and. Really loving that, that chorus, especially. Um, yeah, I would love to talk about a few things. Um, lyrically, I really love how you kind of ramp things up in verse two.

you also kind of have this thing where in verse one, it's like double verse kind of right, and then

[00:11:43] Georgia Parker: Yeah,

[00:11:44] Jordan Smith Reynolds: and then a smaller kind of more condensed verse two,

some of my favorites. Imagery and rhymes happen right there with the, I'm staying late to caress your bad taste. I think that caress your bad taste line is, just is really sweet and, uh, and not a sweet way, but like, that's a great, great choice way.

Um, And then the, I made a promise to never go back for the next thing I feel is your head in my lap.

[00:12:10] Georgia Parker: Yeah,

[00:12:10] Jordan Smith Reynolds: so great. And it I just love how it goes straight in instead of doing kind of the same double verse thing. It feels really right for it to kind of just keep plugging forward into the chorus.

So do you have any thoughts on, on your verse writing process or, how that came about?

[00:12:25] Georgia Parker: yeah, I guess, I mean, I guess for this song, the, the double verse at the beginning is just, um, it felt right to give more of an introduction to, you know, the story that I was trying to tell and, the second verse after the chorus is just a little bit more blunt and a little bit more like, I don't have much else to say about this.

It's just, and, you know, I feel like it gives a little bit, of an energy of, you know, being tired of the routine kind of, if I'm going to get really cryptic about it, but it's also just like, you know, I've said what I needed to say. And, uh, this is not my confession. You know,

[00:13:00] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. Yeah. I like how it kind of removes, like you said, it really kind of hones in and removes any question of what the song is about and how you feel about the relationship. Like if there was any, Oh, maybe we'll work things out and it'll be okay. Like,

[00:13:17] Georgia Parker: yeah.

[00:13:17] Jordan Smith Reynolds: it's like, no, this is not a healthy thing.

[00:13:20] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:13:20] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah.

[00:13:21] Georgia Parker: At least there's clarity about that. Yeah.

[00:13:24] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Mm hmm.

[00:13:25] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:13:26] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah, and I wanted to talk about the the guitar sounds that you're making in it, too So you you said you're using a pedal a few pedals for the live performance You had a reverb and a chorus if I remember right is that is that what you said?

[00:13:41] Georgia Parker: Yes, it is, yeah.

[00:13:42] Jordan Smith Reynolds: awesome What kind of guitar are you using? It's a rubber bridge, right?

[00:13:46] Georgia Parker: so this particular rubber bridge, I'm, looking after, it's my friend's, Jacob and Chelsea Wendlo's guitar, and they made, Jacob made the the rubber bridge. So

[00:13:56] Jordan Smith Reynolds: wait Did you Wendlo like the the music group

[00:13:59] Georgia Parker: yes, yeah, yeah. So this is their guitar that I'm just using cause they're out of town. Um, but, I do play with a rubber bridge. when I play live, I'd like when I did the string quartet and stuff, just a different one.

Yeah,

[00:14:13] Jordan Smith Reynolds: That's great. Yeah. TikTok introduced me to, to Wendlo.

[00:14:16] Georgia Parker: they very very good. Yeah

[00:14:18] Jordan Smith Reynolds: yeah, They do some really cool stuff. have you played shows together as well?

[00:14:22] Georgia Parker: I did actually opened they had a show at the Moroccan lounge in December and I opened for that Which was really awesome Yeah, yeah,

[00:14:29] Jordan Smith Reynolds: such a great venue.

yeah, I love that rubber bridge sound. So is that what you used for the recording as well?

[00:14:34] Georgia Parker: Um, there are a couple of rubber bridge parts in in the song and the main sort of strumming bit is on an acoustic

[00:14:41] Jordan Smith Reynolds: awesome.

want to go back a little bit in your music history.

[00:14:47] Georgia Parker: Mm hmm

[00:14:48] Jordan Smith Reynolds: in your bio, you said you came here at 18 and started playing in the States, I would love to talk about, how you got into music and how you ended up coming to the States to do music as well.

[00:14:59] Georgia Parker: Yeah, when I was looking to go to university or college or whatever, I was, looking at music schools and that's why I ended up going to the U. S. No, I came across a couple and, yeah, originally that's what I came over for. And then, It took me a little bit to get, to start really doing a lot of shows, but then, yeah, I, you know, I lived in New York for a little bit and then moved over here so I, you know, started in Boston and initially it was just school.

I didn't know I was going to stay. I didn't, like, it wasn't a plan. It just kind of happened.

[00:15:28] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Mm hmm.

[00:15:28] Georgia Parker: Yeah,

[00:15:29] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Wonderful. So when you came to, you said Boston, I imagine it was Berklee that

[00:15:33] Georgia Parker: it was. Yeah.

[00:15:34] Jordan Smith Reynolds: went to. Yeah. Which also makes, is that how you met Philip?

[00:15:38] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:15:39] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Okay. Yeah. So I'd, I'd heard Philip went there as well, which is,

[00:15:43] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:15:43] Jordan Smith Reynolds: I imagine the whole Lizzie McAlpine Tiny Habits connection stuff. That's all kind of in that Berklee universe.

[00:15:51] Georgia Parker: Totally. Yeah.

[00:15:53] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. That's awesome. I love Boston. I actually went there for my graduate program. New England conservatory for classical voice. Yeah. So we were next door neighbors.

[00:16:04] Georgia Parker: Love that.

[00:16:07] Jordan Smith Reynolds: I was there 2016 to 2019,

[00:16:11] Georgia Parker: Mmm,

[00:16:11] Jordan Smith Reynolds: for my school stuff.

[00:16:12] Georgia Parker: oh cool. Yeah, I, we, we overlapped. I was 2017.

[00:16:16] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Oh, okay.

Yeah, little did so funny. I started getting into songwriting more seriously, like right at the tail end of my Boston stay. I've always kind of written for just for my own, need to write music. Um, but that was pursuing, you know, vocal, like classical vocal thing. And then I was like, Oh, maybe I'll do musical theater.

And I was trying out musical theater stuff. And then things kind of clicked actually with the birth of my, my I remembered, I just was writing a lot because I had time. Uh, my wife was working full time and I was watching the kids and then teaching voice lessons at night. And when I had that time to just sit there, what I wanted to do was write songs, not really, be on stage singing opera.

So it took me a while to figure it out, but that's,

[00:17:04] Georgia Parker: awesome.

[00:17:05] Jordan Smith Reynolds: yeah, that was kind of my, my path to it.

I would love to hear what kind of got you started in your songwriting journey. What was, was that a choice you made or was it just something that started happening as you experimented with music?

[00:17:17] Georgia Parker: It's kind of something that just started happening. I, I always loved singing and that was, you know, I was passionate about that from an early age. And then I decided that I wanted to be able to accompany myself. So I got a guitar when I was about 13 and, you know, I was totally new to the guitar and learning songs was difficult. And so I started making up my own kind of, and that's sort of how I came to songwriting. It was very like accidental. And, you know, I wouldn't even have called it like, Oh, I'm writing songs. I mean, you know, like I wouldn't have called it that at the very early stages. And then, it became sort of like therapy and it was like, you know, I did it every night when I came home from school, it was just like fun.

And then I started realizing that I could treat it like a, career and a goal and I started doing that, so yeah, it is, it is kind of funny how, how it came to it, considering how, I don't know, it's my favorite thing to do, you know,

[00:18:11] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah.

[00:18:12] Georgia Parker: yeah,

[00:18:13] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. That's so funny. It, it was very similar for me where it wasn't like, okay, I'm going to be a songwriter now and

[00:18:19] Georgia Parker: yeah,

[00:18:20] Jordan Smith Reynolds: start writing stuff. It was just how to guitar and, lyrics started just coming out.

[00:18:25] Georgia Parker: yeah,

[00:18:25] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. do you write on the piano as well? Or is it mostly been guitar based since then?

[00:18:30] Georgia Parker: guitar, yeah,

[00:18:32] Jordan Smith Reynolds: I find the types of songs I write are very different when I'm on piano versus guitar Like they get a little bit more poppy sounding when i'm on piano for

[00:18:41] Georgia Parker: Yeah, I kind of feel that way as well. Yeah, I mean, I feel like it has to have something to do with, I'm definitely not as comfortable on the piano, and the things that come out sort of, therefore feel a little bit more generic to me, you know? But I would, it is a goal to write some more songs on the piano.

[00:18:58] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Cool Do you have piano throughout your record coming up?

[00:19:02] Georgia Parker: Yeah, it's scattered around, yeah.

[00:19:04] Jordan Smith Reynolds: you started playing guitar around 13. you said singing was always a goal too. Did you do much in like the musical theater kind of performance space for that?

[00:19:14] Georgia Parker: Um, not, musical theatre just wasn't super, like, available to me as a kid, you know, we had drama at my school and we had, you know, concerts, but there was not really, there's just, I don't think there is as much musical theatre in the UK as there is in the US in general, and yeah, I think had it been something, it would have been something that I, I would have leaned towards, but it never really was.

I was in choir and I, had lessons at various points and stuff like that, but musical theater never really crossed my lane.

[00:19:46] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. So, when you're doing singing in like choirs and things like that, what kind of choir music is it? Is it more kind of like, I guess, traditional choir stuff? What was, what was your experience in that world?

[00:19:59] Georgia Parker: I mean, I, I only did it in junior school, because when I went to senior school, I joined the, the rock bands instead and, kind of had a, became averse to the choir. But, um, it, yeah, it was pretty traditional, um, it was pretty traditional stuff, from what I remember, but it was so long ago now, yeah.

[00:20:19] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Cause I know there is incredibly good choral music in the UK as well.

[00:20:24] Georgia Parker: Yeah, no, I, I totally should have done it in, in senior school as well. I just,

[00:20:30] Jordan Smith Reynolds: yeah,

[00:20:31] Georgia Parker: at the time I was like, no, thank you.

[00:20:32] Jordan Smith Reynolds: well, it's, I mean, what you ended up doing, I imagine had a lot more impact on what you're currently doing. So

[00:20:39] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:20:40] Jordan Smith Reynolds: That can be a good thing. Instead. I, I sang in opera stages until I was like, you know, through my

[00:20:46] Georgia Parker: Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. Really cool.

[00:20:50] Jordan Smith Reynolds: yeah, and I do see how it influenced, you know, how I write and how I perform still, uh, just a very roundabout way

[00:20:59] Georgia Parker: Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

[00:21:02] Jordan Smith Reynolds: But bringing it back to your music Twin Flame, so you came here in Boston. and that's why you came to the States was to go to school at

[00:21:09] Georgia Parker: Yeah.

[00:21:10] Jordan Smith Reynolds: then what happens next? So you come to Berklee you start, you do your classes. Did you graduate from Berklee?

[00:21:17] Georgia Parker: I did. Yeah.

[00:21:18] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Okay. Awesome. How did that help you in your career? What were the next steps slash experience at Berklee? I'd love to hear those things. Yeah.

[00:21:29] Georgia Parker: great school. you know, first time really being around like a lot of musicians and people who have similar goals or, you know, just really talented in areas that I, you know, just wasn't around, I wasn't around jazz musicians, ever in my life before, or any kinds of like, just like people with the best, I don't know, level of that.

Um, whatever they do. So that was just really inspiring. And, you know, meeting a lot of these people was really inspiring and classes were great. Um, and then, yeah, towards the end of Berklee, you know, I was kind of ready to leave but wanted to stay in the U S and as soon as I graduated, I moved to New York and I took a job at a studio as a runner.

which, I took it because it was paid and I thought, you know, I'll have time to do my passion when I'm not working. And this is great. Whatever. And then of course the studio job is like 65 hours a week, six days a week. And like on my day off, I'm just like absolutely dead to the world.

So that lasted for about six months. and I quit and moved to LA. because I had visited and figured that it actually felt like a better place to be than New York for what I specifically wanted to do. around the same time, started working on the album and started playing around LA as much as I could and just, yeah, just doing the general grind. Um, yeah.

[00:22:55] Jordan Smith Reynolds: why why LA versus New York? Um, I'm curious to like, why LA is a better fit.

[00:23:00] Georgia Parker: Um, when I visited, I, it just, there's a lot more people doing, the specific thing that, singer songwriter or just the general artist thing in LA, which, you know, one, like, yes, that makes it oversaturated, but, you know, I was watching people either just move here and, you know, find the space or, you know, they get successful somewhere else and then they moved to LA.

It just felt like, there is just a different, um, culture and concentration of, you know, the people, types of people that you want to meet in LA than there are in New York, I think, I think it's just a little bit more of a hub than New York is for specifically the singer songwriter, grind and maybe honestly, just, you know, wanting to be a.

An artist, um, and in a lot of genres. yeah, it's just, I, I visited and I was here for a week and I was like, Oh my God, like this is clearly a much better place for me to be if I really want to chase this. yeah.

[00:23:58] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. I'm curious about that because my friend is out there in New York and he's doing the songwriter thing, but his, he kind of does it at a different, in a different way. Like he does a lot of jazz shows. He's a jazz musician and he, uh, does a lot of like gigging into late night stuff. And then we'll like write songs.

He's actually going to be on the podcast soon as well. so I think it is interesting that it probably works well for him as a songwriter out there because he does that late night gig life. yeah,

[00:24:28] Georgia Parker: I think jazz is one of the ones that, you know, obviously New York is a hub has a lot of history for, yeah. I mean, I, the studio I worked at also was. did a lot of musical theater, which is an example of something that you kind of want to be in New York for, if that's what you're chasing or, in large part.

Yeah.

[00:24:46] Jordan Smith Reynolds: What was the community like for singer songwriters? Were there, were there like groups so you could get to at least collaborate and get to know each other? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:24:53] Georgia Parker: I mean, not that I was aware of, you know, there's some of the same, live show, uh, companies, you know, breaking sound and that kind of thing, but there's, songwriter nights and all of that thing in LA. I feel like if you're a band and you're gigging around, New York is kind of an easier place to, book like full band shows than LA, maybe.

But yeah, I, you know, I was also only there for eight months, so, but it definitely, didn't feel as easy to find those sorts of spaces full of lots of songwriters in a similar genre or whatever, you know,

[00:25:27] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah. And sounds like buried in a studio for a majority of that time too.

[00:25:31] Georgia Parker: Yeah, definitely.

[00:25:34] Jordan Smith Reynolds: So you came to LA and you find that it's a lot better fit for you. I'd love to talk about just, those, those things that appeal to you. So it's like, you're seeing a lot of opportunities to play, also just like minded collaborators for work.

Yeah. What is it about LA that

makes you feel at home?

[00:25:51] Georgia Parker: uh, yeah, it's just, there are a lot of really talented, songwriters here. And, you know, a lot of people that I looked up to who are based here and, you know, you actually get to meet those people sometimes and. See those people play and just like be in spaces where, you know, you find other talented people and you get to play to people that , you know, it's just, there seems like a lot more opportunity for like these surprise kind of encounters and like opportunities.

I said opportunities a lot in that sentence, but, um,

[00:26:23] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah.

[00:26:23] Georgia Parker: yeah, there's just, you're just kind of close to everything and everyone, and, You know, if you're banking on luck is one of the things, you could be lucky,

you know?

[00:26:34] Jordan Smith Reynolds: yeah, it's good to be, in a space like you mentioned, like it's, yeah, it's good to be in a space with a lot of opportunity because otherwise you can't have the opportunity to get lucky,

[00:26:44] Georgia Parker: exactly. That's, yeah.

[00:26:46] Jordan Smith Reynolds: as an artist. and it sounds like even, I mean, just you used a guitar from Wendlo and it's, it's great to have just connections and musician friends.

That's something I've really loved about LA. This isn't a New York hate episode, but, um, as two LA musicians, one of the things that, that I love about it Is that very thing. There's just are so many artists and feels like there's a strong sense of community in trying to create art as opposed to like, and of course it's competitive and it's hard to, break above the noise and things like that.

But I do think there's a lot of, I don't know, I've, I've felt at least in the circles I've been in that there's a lot of love and respect for each other's music and, and inspiration from that point. Um, so I am grateful for the LA community for those things.

[00:27:36] Georgia Parker: Me too. It, yeah, it's inspiring for those reasons. It's sometimes stressful for those reasons, but it's good. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:27:44] Jordan Smith Reynolds: I think one trap that you can fall into as a musician here is, there are so many other artists doing the thing, that really the only people you talk to are other artists doing the thing, and you don't like, get your music out to the public. To anyone else and it's just, you

[00:28:00] Georgia Parker: yeah.

[00:28:01] Jordan Smith Reynolds: you end up kind of getting stuck in that kind of circle.

[00:28:04] Georgia Parker: It's a huge bubble for sure, yeah.

[00:28:06] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Yeah.

So, before, before we go, I'd love to hear just a little bit more about what you're up to up next. You have this album, this record coming out, that's been a few years coming. So really excited to hear all of that attention to detail and everything you've been able to kind of work on over that time.

Um, yeah. Anything you'd like people to know about that's coming up for you?

[00:28:29] Georgia Parker: Yeah, well I think when this podcast episode comes out, I will be midway towards the end of a little opening tour. Uh, I'm opening for the Nicotine Dolls for seven dates of their West Coast tour. So I will be still doing that. I think when that happens, when this comes up, and yeah, other than that, Twin Flame is the first single, and then there will be a couple more announcements about singles and then the album and that's kind of it. I'll be doing as many shows as I can once I'm back in LA too. And we'll see. That's kind of, that's kind of it. Yeah.

[00:29:02] Jordan Smith Reynolds: wonderful. Do you have plans for touring and working on this album? What do you

[00:29:05] Georgia Parker: I kind of, to be seen, I will definitely be doing stuff around California and would like to, you know, travel a little further if I can, but, in terms of my own personal tour, yeah, it'll be around California,

[00:29:18] Jordan Smith Reynolds: Awesome. And then looking, it sounds like, so this, this tour you're going on, that will be around this episode. That's like, uh, you had mentioned like coast, Oregon, Utah, Arizona,

[00:29:28] Georgia Parker: Yeah. Seattle. Um, and then a few California dates, uh, Berkeley, LA and So yeah.

[00:29:35] Jordan Smith Reynolds: That's awesome. Pre album

rep. I feel I'm excited about it. It should be fun.

Well, I am very excited to hear your records. I love seeing you perform. I think I've only seen you the one time at the orchid concert, but I had listened to your music before cause I had listened to, I think it was tiny habits record and I was like, who produced this thing?

And it was Philip Etherington and I saw who else he had worked with and your music came up and. Was, uh, very excited to hear that and for the record, I know you mentioned you didn't have a lot of musical theater around where you were. and maybe some songwriters would take this the wrong way, but I hope you don't.

Um, but I think your

voice would just be so great in

musical theater.

[00:30:13] Georgia Parker: that's a huge compliment. Thank you. Yeah.

[00:30:16] Jordan Smith Reynolds: good. I'm glad. And I told you, I think at the concert, just, I love the, I love the vocal control you have, the way that you can choose to have your voice break it's just so great, emotionally.

So yes, thank you for your music. I'm very excited for the

album

[00:30:31] Georgia Parker: Thank you. thank you so much for

having me. It's been a lot of fun. right. Well, I'll see you next
