In this episode, I sit down with my friend Brandon Theis (known onstage and in the studio as The Orchestrator) to talk about more than just the music. Brandon is a powerhouse: a gifted saxophonist, creative visionary, businessman, and devoted husband. We dive into the origin story of The Orchestrator, from the first spark of inspiration to the high-energy performances that have made him one of Denver’s most magnetic musical forces.
But this conversation goes beyond the stage. Brandon opens up about what’s been on his heart lately—not just in the ever-changing music industry, but in the world at large. We talk about identity, community, ambition, and the tension between creating art and sustaining a career. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build a life around sound while staying rooted in purpose, this one’s for you.
Follow along and join the conversation:
