Jason
Gordon |
| Jason Gordon of Armington, IL has received much acclaim for his great baritone wherever he has performed, as well as for his dynamic singing style. His powerful voice has a quality described as "pure and honest country". Jackson Brumley, a promoter and producer from Nashville, TN said Jason's voice is "a powerful mix of George Jones, Vern Gosdin and Alan Jackson". Jason's fans find his voice addictive, once you hear him, you've got to come back for more. He is as comfortable with the music of George Jones, Toby Keith and Alan Jackson as he is with Marty Robbins, Old Hank, and Hank Williams Jr. |
