Junior Gordon Band

When Junior Gordon was a kid he remembers riding in the car, singing along with the radio to all of the songs that he would hear. He never thought much about it, being able to remember the words, hearing things in vocals that stuck out to him.
At a very young age he was inspired by one of the greatest dance halls in the world, the all to Famous Gilley’s in Pasadena Texas. It was there that his eyes and ears were filled by the sounds of so many of the greatest country music legends of all time. You see both of Junior’s parents worked at Gilley’s giving him front row seats at any time to see the hot country favorites. Imagine what it would be like, at 13 to go to school and tell your friends that you not only saw Conway Twitty, George Strait, Ronnie Millsap, George Jones, Mickey Gilley and Johnny Lee (Just naming a few) but you got to hang out with them.

While in High School he remembers hanging out on the weekends, sitting on tailgates, listening and singing along to the radio. His friends would always say “Man you can sing” and singing is just what he did.

Not quite old enough for the bars, his parents would take him to karaoke contest, sign him up and sit back and watch. Before he knew it time had slipped away from him and life took over, there was not much singing going on. Then inspired by a buddy that did nothing but sit around and play the guitar, they started his first band. As most first bands do, it fell apart and there were many to follow that did the same. Then in 2007 he was offered a position as a lead singer in a local band that was already established. Before he knew it he was in front of many new fans and the band was doing great.

Now Junior is fronting his own band and they are working on their first album, while maintaining a very busy schedule. Junior admits that he had to learn a lot about the business, life and stumble his way through it all. It was not until 2010 that Junior ever had the inspiration to write; he started and has not stopped. The inspiration he needed was found through his wife Cheramy and their children. He says watching life unfold, growing out of the partying stage, falling in love and finding the spiritual side of him is what did it.

Junior is blazing and burning up every stage that he and the band steps foot on, “the doors have opened finally” he says. Recently they have shared the stage with Hal Ketchum, Sammy Kershaw, Asleep at the Wheel, Jake Hooker and Wayne Toups. The band has gone through growing pains, learning curves, and some times being totally dysfunctional. Junior got tired of making no money and dealing with inflated egos, but he is now backed by the best guys in the business
