Michael Jordan

Thriving on one-of-a-kind, self-taught musical techniques, St. Augustine's Michael Jordan melds precise percussion with open and irregular tunings to create an auditorily vibrant and aesthetically captivating performance that is sure to shock, inspire, and mesmerize. His original material ranges from the nitty gritty southern rock sound, to delta blues, and Americana folk, with some works sounding even hymnal. There is no genre stone that Jordan has not turned, as he defies the solo singer-songwriter norms. 
 
Jordan's sound is found by using his instrument as both a drum and guitar simultaneously. Using his right wrist, fingers, fist, and fingertips to create percussion on the body of his guitar, Jordan also uses the fretboard percussively and to his advantage. The result is a symphony of sound that is difficult to describe. It goes back to the common saying, "Where words fail, there's music." From his instrumental masterpieces to his ingenious takes on classics and contemporary works, Jordan calms the seas only to stir them up again, captivating audience members one by one.
