Jordan’s guitar playing and song writing have been recognized as sophisticated and creative, reflecting a skill well beyond his years. He has been performing regularly since age 13 when he first started playing the blues and rock-n-roll in and around Atlanta with The Chicago Joe Jones Band.
In the fall of 2006, Jordan got his first taste of the “big time” when The Chicago Joe Jones Band won the Atlanta Blues Society's Challenge and went on to compete in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. Jordan still plays with Chicago Joe every Thursday at Maddy's in Decatur. He also plays several nights a month with the Charlie Wooton Project.
He is a founding member of the band Swagger. Swagger competed in the 2007 Atlanta Blues Society Challenge and won the Peoples’ Choice Award. In 2008, Jordan again won the Peoples’ Choice Award while playing in a band backing a local artist. You can find Jordan playing at a variety of venues around town.
Jordan has performed with many of the top musicians in Atlanta and around the country including: Geoff Achison, Greg Baba, Andrew Black, Tommy Brown, Ricky Byrd, Sean Costello, Liberty DeVitto, Ricky Fargo, Scott Glazer, Rita Graham, Grant Green, Jr., Jack Hall, Derek St. Holmes, Donna Hopkins, Eddie Horst, Chicago Joe Jones, Jack Jones, Damien Lewis, Mike Lowry, Mike Martin, John McKnight, Bob Mobley, Nate Nelson, Keith Otterbeck, Barry Richman, Dustin Sargent, John Schwenke, Yonrico Scott, Will Scruggs, Chick Willis, Charlie Wooton, and Jody Worrell.
