Denise Gordon

'Denise will take you from New Orleans to New York, and back to New Orleans'

Proudly influenced by her Nevisian heritage, UK born Gospel and soulful Jazz singer Denise Gordon has performed on the International scene for over 20 years. Her inspiration stems from the gospel music of her Caribbean roots and New Orleans influences of Mahalia Jackson and Louis Armstrong, which place her unequivocally in the mainstream of the Afro-American musical tradition.

Her journey began at the age of 3. Taught by her mother she began singing in her local gospel church. By Age 11 she was a Lead Singer performing in large Choirs at the National Conventions and leading her own girl group in front of thousands as a pre-teen.

Denise has toured throughout the larger concert halls and festivals of Europe singing Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Rhythm 'n' Blues. She has performed at Buckingham Palace for the Queen's Jubilee, at both Glastonbury and T in the Park and gave an acappella performance for Pope John Paul II before an audience of a quarter of a million people. Recently even touring with the legendary Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones.

This sought after vocalist has performed & recorded with world-class musicians from New York, New Orleans and from around the European and UK Jazz & Blues Scene.

Denise will be backed by award winning Trumpeter Jamie Brownfield, Pianist Tom Kincaid, Bassist Jim Swinnerton, and Jack Cotterill on Drums.
