Check out part 1 of our conversation first, where we explore Mark Braud’s musical roots, jazz improvisation and his family legacy.

Mark shares how these experiences led him to founding production music library Old Saw Music, with his wife Megan - a library rooted in real musicians, real stories and real soul.

Plus, we get behind-the-scenes insights from Mark’s time on Broadway including his experience in singing, playing and even speaking roles in prestigious shows such as The Cole Porter Show and Harry Connick Jr., Live.
