Jordan Norman is a throwback singer/songwriter with influences both modern and retro. Since the age of fourteen he has been writing and performing his own music. Beginning at local venues in his hometown of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta and then breaking into the Edmonton scene, he has been impressing audiences wherever he goes. As with all artists, many different genres of music mix into a new style for Jordan. His sound is the product of listening to folk artists like Neil Young, Damien Rice, and Dan Mangan on long road trips and spending weekends with inventors of grunge, Nirvana and the Pixies. Along with these magicians of music coincides The Weakerthans, inspiring Jordan's carefully chosen lyrics and wisdom in describing life from such a young age. Mixing acoustic melodies with quiet loud-rock has given Jordan the description of grunge-goes-acoustic. Jordan is able to capitalize on beautiful melodies and captivating chord progressions inspired by these artists.
