Marc Jordan

[one_third] [dropcap_rounded]A[/dropcap_rounded] well-known songwriter once called Canadian Icon Marc Jordan “the real deal”. So what the hell does that mean? Maybe it suggests how many of us would respond to life if we had such an eloquent reflex. Marc Jordan’s voice and songs are how he howls at the moon. They take many listeners to a place that the heart understands before the intellect can comment. Frequently praised for the emotional and poetic quality of his lyrics you know he understands the sweet sadness of life and it’s connection to music. It is in his spine. He shuffles around this planet observing the connective tissue of metaphor, the poetry of life – mining phrases that might capture something beyond words.
