About Me

Hello Friends, My name is Kurt Hagardorn, and I love to play music. I'm currently working on a new record called "Leaves" due out by the end of 2009. In February of 2007 I released an album entitled TEN SINGLES on the Bladen County Records label. I live in Portland Oregon, making music around the region, playing and recording with my band. I used to play in a band called Gumption in Chapel Hill North Carolina in the mid 90's, and before that I played with Brian and the Nightmares. Before I moved to Portland I played guitar for Thad Cockrell and occasionaly Caitlan Cary. I hope you'll take a little time to listen to my music, and if I'm in your town, come out to the show. Below is the CD Baby icon to click on to preview and buy the CD's I have for sale.www.cdbaby.com is a great Portland based company that sells my CD via the mail and distributes it via the internet for download at iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster, and many other sites.electronic press kit at www.sonicbids.com/kurthagardorn

Is 40 cool?

I've always kind of had this idea that many artists make their best work when they are young, but I'm kind of wondering.  I'm 42 now, and I hope I don't delude myself when I feel that I'm at the top o...
