Harry Jordan is a musician from Charleston, United States, born in 1948 and died in 2007. The available information describes a performer influenced by the sounds of the 1950s and 1960s, working in a retro style associated with rockabilly, blues, skiffle and rock and roll.

Style and themes

Jordan’s songs are described as drawing on vintage popular music while using witty lyrics and narrative ideas. The material mentioned focuses on Birmingham and on stories about unsavoury characters, suggesting a lyric style built around character sketches and place-based detail.

Recording activity

Jordan releases a first demo, Maggie May, in autumn 2015. This is followed by a first EP planned for spring 2016. Jordan also states a wish to make music that reflects personal identity, so that listeners can recognise the artist’s personality in the recording.

Live work

The artist limits live performances until the EP appears, while also being set to perform at local and national festivals and events through mid-2016.
