Gordon Grdina last Solo concert from Prior St.

I haven't played for a while and it is getting boring!! I'm looking forward to playing some music people for a change... we are also moving so this will be the last chance to do a show live from our place on Prior St! A lot of memories here but we are looking forward to new beginnings... which I am certain all of my US friends will be looking forward to after Nov 3rd! See you soon, G Gordon Grdina Bio “Gordon Grdina Makes Music that is Important for Humanity”- FreeJazz Blog Eyal Hareuveni “Gord doesn’t play the guitar like anybody else I’ve ever seen. The instrument becomes an extension of his frantic mind, embracing both the chaos and the deep kindness he exudes as an individual. Gord’s playing isn’t referential to anything. It’s not nostalgic. It doesn’t remind you of how the guitar is so cool when it’s played well. It just reminds you that life is infinitely absurd but the pros outweigh the cons.” — Dan Mangan “Evokes what Radiohead might sound like if they were still making guitar focused records.” — Guitarist.UK “This is one of those albums that rolls around about once a year, one that manages to free itself of labels so it can be elevated to a higher plane—one that is called “music”. —Pop Matters “The prevailing ambience is one of dark mystery, but the ruggedness of Grdina’s tone makes for a palette of rich contrast.” – Jazz Times …a player of unbridled musical ingenuity” —World Music Report BIO// Gordon Grdina is a JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy) winning oud/guitarist whose career has spanned continents, decades and constant genre exploration throughout avant-garde jazz, free form improvisation, contemporary indie rock and Arabic.
