artist Dan Gordon

Dan Gordon spent his formative years in a logging camp in Bruce Lake, Ontario. Living with his father and learning the trade of the Gordon men. He spent his evenings sitting around the fire and listening to the other men sing songs of hardship, work, women and hope. On Dan's 18th birthday he packed up and moved to the city to reconnect with his mother. Thankfully he brought those songs with him… The life that Dan breathes into his music comes from his own state of being; a simple man who recognizes and understands the complexities of human existence. His inspiration is drawn from the goodness of a brown paper bag, the curves in a women’s body, the stale scent of an overflowing ashtray and the balance he seeks between the rush of the city and the quiet of nature. Dan’s perfect woman is his acoustic lover “Jenny” a steel string handcrafted, Seagull from Quebec. Jenny is Dan’s diary. Each string carries the finger prints of a traveling, wayward man whose greatest gift is song. Perhaps the only way one can actually get to know Dan Gordon is through his music as he refuses to discuss much of himself in any manner other than song. Even then the message is buried in distracting imagery and creates and obstacle making it difficult for the listener to decipher exactly what he has experienced.
