May 16, 2009 Bob Jordan "The Country That Never Was" CD Release $10
Bob Jordan plays everywhere and has been doing it for a generation - a real folk musician, but you can't stick that name on him. If you do, he'll whack you with a Cha-cha or an old English ballad. His knowledge of songs and stringed instruments is enormous, and Bob is also noted for his creation of the Worcester Dylan events. But on this night, Bob is only going to play two types of music: Country and Western. He says it is his biggest project yet, the CD entitled "The Country That Never Was", featuring the musicians on the recording: Steve Blake, Greg Sullivan, Peter Zolli, Howie Swett, and others. The show will also include special SURPRISE! guests - a night of great music.
