A singer/songwriter recently selected as 1 of only 30 musicians from across Canada to be on CMT Canada's "Big in a small Town" gorden james performs covers from many genres including country, soft rock, blues, and easy listening along with his original songs now heard on radio around the world! Whether your event is an intimate gathering for friends and family or for a busy Hotel dining room Gord can accomodate your musical needs!
My booking experience with Gorden James was exceptionally easy and he was great at communicating with me while I planned my event! He helped and made suggestions as to what would sort of venues would work and even went out of his way to see if a particular venue I was interested in was available. He clarified everything I needed to know at the time of booking and there were no "grey areas" or surprises at the time of my event.
The performance for my event couldn't have gone any better! He tailored the music to our guests and managed to play a few song requests as previously by email! His music had my guests dancing and singing the night away! The Set up and Tear down was discreet and professional.
Having live music 100% added to my event and "was the icing on the cake". The entertainment provided a great way for all of my guests to relax and jump into the party!
I would absolutely recommend Gorden James for others events as his talent speaks for itself from the minute he opens his mouth into the microphone. Also Gorden’s level of professionalism did not go unnoted nor his ability to really get a crowd to have fun!

Response from Gorden James:
Thanks Breyan! It was a pleasure to be part of your event!
Page 1 of 1This past summer we were delighted to have Gorden James perform at a very special family event. It was a milestone birthday party for our Dad who turned 80 years old. In keeping with a country theme, and knowing it was our Dad’s favorite, we were very fortunate to have Gorden James provide the music. Gorden, along with his band mates, entertained our guests with a variety of “top of the chart” songs, memorable ballads, and a special collection of his own personally written music. Gorden is an extremely talented and creative song writer and musician whose songs appeal to a wide variety of listeners. Our birthday celebration was definitely a memorable occasion and we were grateful to have had Gorden James share our special day!
Sincerely, Larry & Debra S.
Gorden first played at our reception ( 8yrs ago ). He then played at our venue The Orchard in Oyama. He is a very talented and versatile musician. He plays many different genres and styles in a very exceptional way. We are excited to have him play again this summer at our venue.
Response from Gorden James:
Thanks to you both for including me on your day and then hosting an amazing event at your venue! Looking forward to coming back this summer!
“The Wish Come True Society booked Gorden James & the Good Guys Band for our 2nd Annual Valentine’s Masquerade Dance. What a great choice we made! They played a wide variety of tunes that kept the dance floor jumping, and had guests singing along at their tables too! The band was very interactive, assisting with our live auction, taking song requests, and they had even offered to sell tickets leading up to the event! The whole experience with Gorden and his band was awesome, from the booking process right up to the end of the last song at our event. Highly recommend them for any function where you would want some wonderful live musical entertainment, without any extra added worries!”
Gorden has been a regular at our market for several seasons. He is definitely a favourite with our Vendors as well as our customers. We are hoping he will have time for us again this season!!!!!
On three seperate occassions I have seen Gorden Sing and have enjoyed them all. Mostly the one {Big in the Small Town} It was a fun filled night with lots of friends there to help support his success. I know it will only get better and bigger things ahead for Gorden. I wish him all the success for the Future. Way to go.
I felt very privileged to watch and listen to this AMAZING talent at Urban Fare. Gord, NEVER give up on your dreams!!

Okanagan based singer/songwriter Gorden James has always had a love for acoustic music…anything unplugged! He shows this in his straight forward approach with his performances whether songs from his debut album “Heart of the Matter “or his spin on some of his favourites... the voice must be out front!
One of his singles “It’s You” is in current rotation in numerous countries and has become a wedding song with couples from around the world using it for their special day. Since winning a singer/songwriter competition in 2002 with CMT Gord has continued to hone his performing skills as either a solo or as part of the popular duo “The Bodega’s”.
Along with “Loving beyond Goodbye” Gord’s new song “Hold my Hand” is also being used in a Hospice related project. Whether playing at a Farmers Market or a 1000 person event Gord endeavours to let his voice and lyrics tell a story that is worthy of being told.
Anything Unplugged from Tom Cochrane, Eric Clapton, The Eagles, Don Williams and the list goes on!
Love playing many genres from blues, country, lounge, and more!
