Jordan Tice
Known by many as a guitarist, Jordan Tice is also a celebrated singer and songwriter.
Those who have heard Jordan Tice perform with the bluegrass supergroup, Hawktail, know him for his mad guitar skills. Jordan has been compared to Leo Kottke and is known for his flatpicking and fingerstyle guitar playing. In addition to Hawktail, Jordan has played with Dave Rawlings, Yola, Andrew Marlin, and comedian/musician Steve Martin.
Jordan is also an accomplished singer and songwriter who released his fifth album in September 2022. Motivational Speakeasy perfectly celebrates Jordan’s vocal, guitar, and songwriting skills. His songs are rife with humor and introspection and have been compared to those of Bob Dylan and John Prine.
Jordan is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and was raised in Annapolis, Maryland, by parents who played bluegrass music. Despite (or because of) the music he heard at home, Jordan started playing rock, moved on to jazz and classical, and earned a degree in music and composition from Towson University. Ultimately, he returned to bluegrass, and an article in American Songwriter has said that Jordan “is one of the prime movers of the modern newgrass movement.”
