“Blessed with a voice that many
performers would die for, Patterson has the wit and personality that
guarantee him success. This man is a class performer and a major star in
the making.” - Blueprint Magazine
After spending nearly the last decade and a half forging a highly
successful career in artist tour management and concert & event
promotion, popular Canadian blues vocalist/harp player Jordan Patterson has
returned to his first love and passion; playing and singing the blues.
The success of Patterson’s 2014 four song EP release The Back On Track Recording Project has
thrust this contemporary blues artist back in the spotlight, reigniting
a successful and exciting career and marking the triumphant return of
one of Canada’s most beloved blues artists.
Patterson has performed at notable music festivals at home and
abroad including the Tampa Bay Blues Festival, Trois Rivieres Blues
Festival, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, the UK’s Burnley
National Blues Festival, the London Blues Festival, Helsinki, Finland’s
April Jazz Festival and many more. Patterson has also performed at
venues throughout North America and Europe with some of the music
industry’s true legends, including James Brown, Barbara Morrison, Carlos Santana, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Mick Fleetwood, Robert Cray, Son Seals, Savoy Brown and Texas bluesman, U.P. Wilson, with whom he recorded the album Whirlwind. In 1996, Patterson released his debut album Give Me a Chance with The D.C. Hurricane. The solid offering featured guest performances from blues legends Bobby Rush and Bobby Parker which led to the opportunity
to record sessions for the BBC Musical Archives, which were broadcast
all throughout the European continents; amassing him many more fans in
the process.
The 2014 release of the The Back On Track Recording Project EP
instantly raised Patterson’s profile within the Canadian and
international blues community with extensive airplay on Canadian radio
and in the USA, including rotation on Sirius XM radio and the track
“Don’t Take Me Down” was featured on Elwood’s BluesMobile and selected
as one of Elwood’s Blues Breakers. The EP was featured in notable
publications such as Blues Matters!, Living Blues, PopMatters, New
Canadian Music and more.
Now, Patterson is set to release the full-length Back On Track Recording Project with
The Jordan Patterson Band, featuring drummer Benjamin Rollo, bass
player Mark McIntyre, guitarist Darryl Romphf, Washington DC-based,
guitarist Bobby Thompson alongside Patterson on vocals and harmonica.
Renowned vocalist Skyler Jordan (aka Barbara Wilson) makes a guest
appearance on two tracks,“You’re My Girl” and “Can We Fall In Love
Again”. This tight, heavy line-up of stellar musicians add depth and
groove to perfectly compliment Patterson’s smoky vocals. The album
consists of 10 original songs all written by Patterson, showcasing his
many musical influences including funk, rock, blues and soul. The CD is
produced by the band’s guitarist Darryl Romphf. With six new tracks
(Favourite Boy, Can We Fall In Love Again, She’s Cool, You’re My Girl,
Living Without Your Love and Do You Believe) as well as remixed and
mastered versions of the original four tracks from the EP (Play My Song,
If You’d Help Me Please, Heartbreaker and Don’t Take Me Down),
Patterson’s exceptional harmonica playing, sophisticated song writing
and refreshing blend of rock n’ roll and blues are all highlighted
throughout this highly anticipated release.
