Joining me is composer Brian Tyler, whose original score for Nuremberg has earned Oscar shortlist recognition and a place on the BAFTA longlist. He joins us as part of our Hollywood Film Composers Series, presented by The Jeremiah Show with Executive Producer Carol Connors.   Brian is an award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist, and conductor with a career spanning more than 100 films and music that has grossed over $17 billion worldwide. In this conversation, we focus on Nuremberg—directed by James Vanderbilt—and the weight of scoring a film that confronts the Holocaust and the trials that followed.   Brian explains why he had to start decades earlier, musically tracing the film's history back to the 1930s before writing a single frame. That process became a six-hour symphonic backstory, shaping themes of memory, justice, and empathy, including difficult choices like incorporating bell tones associated with the camps.   The discussion then turns deeply personal, as Brian shares how completing Nuremberg coincided with surviving a life-threatening double brain hemorrhage—an experience that reshaped how he thinks about time, purpose, and responsibility. It’s a conversation about music as moral witness, and how a score can carry history into the present tense.   CHAPTERS   00:00 The Weight of History and Music   08:53 Brian Tyler: The Composer Behind Nuremberg     23:54 The Responsibility of Scoring History 31:59 Facing Mortality and the Power of Music 38:09 The Emotional Resonance of Music in Historical Contexts 40:05 Crafting Nostalgia: The Role of Melodies in Storytelling 42:16 Empathy Through Music: Connecting with Humanity's Struggles 45:35 Exploring the Concept of Time and Existence 48:01 The Ambitious Vision of 'Are We Dreaming?' 52:57 Creative Reset: Reflections on Life and Purpose 56:36 The Power of Music in Shaping Historical Narratives    - - -   Keep up with Brian Tyler online at: https://www.briantyler.com/   On Instagram at:  https://www.instagram.com/briantylermusic/   Are We Dreaming: https://www.arewedreaming.com/   Are We Dreaming VIMEO Video: https://vimeo.com/618269365?fl=pl&fe=sh   Listen More.

In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Grammy-winning guitarist and composer Janet Robin sits down with Jeremiah for a wide-ranging conversation about the moments—and mentors—that shaped her life in music.   Janet shares how guitar became her “security blanket” as a kid, and how studying one-on-one with Randy Rhoades (as his youngest student and the only girl in his class) gave her both technique and confidence—especially his insistence that students develop their own sound.   From her early years playing clubs in L.A. with the all-female band Precious Metal (and the whirlwind of being discovered and signed young), to being handpicked by Lindsey Buckingham for a demanding “guitar army” tour that sharpened her discipline and pushed her toward solo work, Janet traces a career built on hustle, professionalism, and creativity.   She also discusses coaching Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight, the unforgettable story behind the film’s famously smashed vintage Martin, and the full-circle Grammy win with The String Revolution for their instrumental “Folsom Prison Blues” recorded at Cash Cabin with John Carter Cash and guest guitarist Tommy Emmanuel—plus what’s next, including new releases, touring, and a blues project drawing from Library of Congress recordings.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Janet Robyn's Journey 03:03 Influence of Randy Rhoads and Early Experiences 15:07 Navigating the Music Industry as a Female Guitarist 18:05 Randy Rhoads' Legacy and Personal Reflections 23:56 The Formation of Precious Metal and Teenage Experiences 35:19 Breaking Barriers: The All-Girl Band Experience 44:28 Lindsay Buckingham: A Turning Point in My Career 48:54 Finding My Voice: The Transition to Solo Work 52:45 The String Revolution: A New Chapter in Music 56:52 Recording with Legends: The Grammy-Winning Experience 01:01:24 Teaching and Mentoring: A Full Circle Moment 01:03:26 Looking Ahead: Future Projects and Aspirations   Join Grammy®-Winning Guitar Trio, The String Revolution, for a night of unmatched guitar magic at Boulevard Music on January 17, 2026, at 8:00 PM.    For tickets and more information, log onto: https://www.boulevardmusic.com   JANET ROBIN’S WEBSITE - https://www.janetrobin.com/ THE STRING REVOLUTION - https://www.thestringrevolution.com/   INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY | APPLE MUSIC   PHOTO CREDIT: Jeff Insel   Listen More.

THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Alan Ward Milwaukee-born rapper and songwriter Alan Ward joins The Jeremiah Show New Year's Eve for a candid conversation about craft, identity, and what it really means to build a career the hard way—fully independent, one record at a time.  He’s been called a torchbearer of the golden era of rap, transporting listeners back to the glory days of backpack rap. He’s known for combining modern hip-hop with old-school heart, sharing self-discovery, independence, and perseverance in his powerful lyrical rhymes.  He explains how he hears “words as music” and why honest storytelling still matters in an algorithm-driven era.    From growing up in Milwaukee’s sharply divided neighborhoods to his new life in Baltimore, Ward reflects on artistic integrity and the discipline of staying true to himself by avoiding shortcuts in the industry.    The episode closes, premiering Alan Ward’s latest single, “Great Time” featuring 4 The Brotherhood—a new chapter in his evolving sound.   “Rappers like Alan Ward are carrying the torch for Milwaukee, even from outside of the city” — Radio Milwaukee.   ALAN WARD’S WEBSITE - https://www.itsjusdez.com/  For TJS Fans, use this exclusive code for discounts on Alan Ward Merch: AW414 INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY | APPLE   Chapters 00:00 Introducing Alan Ward 05:20 The Power of Words and Storytelling 16:36 Artist Integrity and Authenticity 22:19 Family and Music 27:45 Home: A Place or Mindset? 38:46 Inspiration from Hip-Hop Legends 40:20 The Significance of Mixtapes 46:44 Building an Authentic Brand 54:38 The Reality of Self-Belief 56:19 Future Aspirations and New Music   Listen More.
