Demo Tracks and Info
Steve Orchard – Saltwater Cafe
Saltwater Cafe finds Steve Orchard in a very laid back mood. The album presents music that is very chilled with a ‘lazy summer days on the beach’ feel.
As with all his music, the tunes drifts effortlessly over you like the summer breeze. It relaxes your spirits with delicate rhythms, warming your soul with gentle melodies and memorable themes.
There are nice rhythmic interludes, like the hypnotic rhythm on the excellent ‘Dormant Volcano with its gentle vocal back drop, and the gentle tribal rhythms on ‘Diamond Mines’. ‘
Spring High Tides’ is a beautiful wash of synths and piano, emulating the pulsating motion of the sea. For the most part though, the rhythms move gently beneath Steve’s impressive orchestration and arrangements. Steve’s excellent guitar and piano work are to the fore on many tracks, providing a counterpoint to some excellent with keys and synth work.
Steve has the knack of being able to conjure up moods, whether it be his ambient excursions or on chilled, new age albums like this. ‘Saltwater Cafe’ perfectly reflects a mood of summer, sea and sand without ever venturing into cliche. Recommended!
This album is available to download as mp3, flac or apple lossless (16bit & 24bit). Check out our FAQ page for more information.

Joseph Baneth Allen (verified owner) –
Just finished listening to “Saltwater Cafe” the latest album by my good friend Steve Orchard that was released a few weeks ago by A.D. Music.
Now if memory serves me correctly here, “Saltwater Cafe” is Steve’s 23rd album with A. D. Music since he signed with the label back in 2011 and, if I’m wrong on this Steve I will apologize in advance, I believe its his first album that was released electronically released without a CD version.
Which absolutely gobsmacked Steve – okay, I’m probably over exaggerating here- when he found out that I had actually purchased the download of “Saltwater Cafe” because he knows that I have a really strong preference for owning physical copies of books, movies, music, audio dramas on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays.
As frequent readers of my reviews here on Facebook, Linkedin, Goodreads, and other social media sites know, I always reveal whenever I am friends and/or have a connection with a writer, musician, actor, artist, and/or performer; and although we have never met in person, we have been friends for nearly 20-years ago, every since I, as a complete stranger but a fan of his music, reached out to him in an email, and the rest they say is history.
Oh yes, I did provide the vocals for the track on “Space Travel Expands The Mind” from Steve’s album “The Third Alien” which actually shocked me when Steve asked me to provide the vocals and I was hesitant to do so because he wanted an authenticate American, and despite being a natural born American, French, not English was my first language and I had to learn to speak English at a normal speed and not the speed of French – so most people when they hear me speak think I’m British because I speak with precision. I was somewhat shocked when Steve reassured me that I actually sounded like an American to him.
There are 12-tracks on “Saltwater Cafe” and if I’m not mistaken – keep in mind that my musical training is limited to voice – Steve used a mix of electric and acoustic guitars, along with pianos and synths and percussion instruments, along with vocals – not mine this time…LOL.
Now what Steve didn’t know is that I actually like walking the along the three mile stretch of beach between Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach here in Jacksonville when Autumn and Winter arrives, so I greatly enjoyed the ocean/beach theme of “Saltwater Cafe.”
My favorite tracks on “Saltwater Cafe” are: “Dormant Volcano,” “Memory Lane,” “Spring High Tide,” “Diamond Minds,” “Desert Oasis,” “The Reef,” and “Treetops.”
I can’t wait for for Steve’s next album.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
