ABOUT ME

Hi there! I’m Raine Jordan, a life-long music enthusiast, a contributing writer for AKR Magazine, a well-regarded high-end auido publication, the co-host of Xtemporize, an upbeat, off-the-cuff podcast featuring interviews with top local musicans hosted by Peter Baron, the innovative creator of The Backyard Improv.

My aim is to showcase prolific and emerging artists local to the greater SF Bay area as an antidote to the rapidly changing music industry that prioritizes profit over creativity -bringing live music (with an emphasis on original music) back into local communities where the artist, music, and creativity can thrive. If this sounds like your vibe, join me here at Going Live with Raine.
