Great Musician & Professional

Jordan is a consummate professional. From beginning to end. Pulled together other talented bandmates for my husband's 80th outdoor birthday bash. Guests were impressed with the repertoire. More than the usual cover band -- jazzy sophistication. Need another event to hire Jordan again!

Noreen, thank you — it was an absolute honor playing for your husband's 80th. Outdoor birthday bashes with a happy crowd are some of my favorite gigs. Wishing your family many more reasons to celebrate together.

I definitely will be hiring him again!!

I hired Jordan for a duo performance at our Jazz Night, and he and his partner did an amazing job! They played saxophone and guitar, and the residents couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed the evening and the music. I will definitely be hiring them again!

About

Jordan Lovinger is a professional multi-instrumentalist based in Denver, Colorado, specializing in guitar, bass, and vocals. A Thumbtack Top Pro (Colorado 2025) with 30+ five-star reviews and hundreds of bookings, Jordan brings versatility and musicianship to every performance. His clients include NBCUniversal, Charles Schwab, Valley Country Club, and top Colorado venues like Dazzle Jazz Club, the Bluebird Theater, and Cervantes.

With deep roots in jazz, funk, R&B, pop, country, folk, and singer-songwriter styles, Jordan adapts to any event and audience. As a guitarist, he is rooted in R&B, neo-soul, and jazz, focused on sophisticated comping, rich harmony, and tasteful soloing. As a bassist, the six-string is his staple — he is known as one of Colorado's most prominent slap bassists, having led a Marcus Miller tribute at Dazzle in 2025. As a vocalist and singer-songwriter, he brings country, folk, and Americana to intimate settings with guitar and voice.

Jordan leads and performs with several active bands in the Denver music scene. Chick Magnet is a Chick Corea tribute ensemble that performs at top Denver venues. Phooey brings psychedelic funk energy to stages across the Front Range. The Blackhole Boogie Band is a jazz fusion project signed with PS Audio. And Groove Mountains explores lo-fi and ambient soundscapes.

As a solo artist, Jordan delivers elegant jazz guitar instrumentals and heartfelt singer-songwriter sets perfect for intimate events, cocktail hours, and background ambiance. With duo and trio configurations available, he can scale the sound to fit any venue or occasion.

Jordan is also deeply committed to music education and community. He hosts a weekly Sunday Jam session at Goosetown Tavern on Colfax Ave in Denver, bringing together musicians of all levels for an evening of live, collaborative music. He teaches private lessons in bass, jazz and funk guitar, and singer-songwriter skills, helping students of all ages develop their musical voice.

Whether you need sophisticated background music for a corporate gala, high-energy entertainment for a brewery event or private party, or a soulful acoustic set for a wedding ceremony, Jordan delivers a polished, professional performance every time.

Additional booking notes

Jordan brings all necessary equipment for solo, duo, and trio performances including guitar amplifier, cables, and instruments. For smaller venues and intimate settings, no additional sound equipment is typically needed.

For larger venues or outdoor events, a PA system with at least one vocal microphone and a direct input (DI) box for guitar is appreciated. Jordan can work with your venue's existing sound system or coordinate with a sound engineer.

Full band performances may require a standard backline setup including drum kit, bass amplifier, and PA system with monitors. Specific requirements will be discussed during booking to ensure a smooth setup.

A flat travel fee of $30 applies to all bookings within the service area. Jordan typically arrives 30-60 minutes before the performance start time for setup and sound check.
