Ashford Gordon carries the torch of Contemporary Blues with deep roots in the rich musical heritage of Starkville, Mississippi. His sound is a living testament to the Hill Country blues of northeastern Mississippi, shaped further by the electrifying pulse of 1950’s Rhythm & Blues from the Pruitt-Igoe Projects in St. Louis. Gordon’s artistry was nurtured during his formative years in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he was immersed in a vibrant blend of Blues and Gospel. His music weaves together these powerful influences, creating a voice that is at once timeless and urgently modern—a true standard-bearer for the next generation of the Blues!
