Jon Martin Music

I love the cello and I love real strings and I love reviewing out of context string parts. Makes me want to keep writing string parts for all of my songs. . . . .... #cello #newmusic #flyingaway #yql #musicmaker #studiolife #songwriting #almost #gettingcloser #musicproduction #strings #ihatelogicsomuchbutnoiloksothatscool See more

I spent the day working on a string arrangement for a brand new song. I promised myself no strings on this one, yet here we are

It was a great experience to produce, mix, and play a bit of guitar on this album with Makiisma and see what we could bring to the doom-folk table. Fun fact: this was also the first time that I've worked with my brother Steve in the studio, who plays bass on the album. Add it to your listening list!

For some reason I’ve been staring at the wolf walls in my hotel room instead of looking outside at the mountains for the @alberta_music #csc2020. At least I remembered the switch for the rest of the day tracking a banger with @iamthemountainmusic and @megandawsonmusic

Can’t wait to take part in the Alberta Music Canadian Songwriter Challenge this weekend. I’m most looking forward to putting together a few songs with some great Alberta artists and hearing from some bonafide songwriting pros about their processes. It’s been a rough few months and opportunities like this remind me of what it’s like on the other side and that we’ll get there eventually. . . .

Awesome day at the National Music Centre doing a live Jon Martin and Lovers video for Canadian Music Week. I hadn’t had a chance to check the studios out yet and they (and the great NMC staff) did not disappoint.. *For the recording geeks, we used their Trident A-Range console
