John’s Blues Picks March 2016 – Jordan Patterson
Published March 1, 2016 in John's Blues Picks, News
Kitchener’s vocalist/harpist Jordan Patterson released a very good CD in 1996 on the JSP label called Give Me A Chance featuring guest spots from Bobby Rush and Bobby Parker. We learn from the press release that he then went into artist tour management & promotion. He returned to his first love last year with a four song EP that did so well he’s here with an exciting full album and a major label distribution deal. He released two singles from the album before its official release February 19.
