We got our first exposure to the Gordons via their debut on the “John P. Kee Presents: The New Artist Showcase” CD (Verity Records) with “Can’t Take No More” in 2005. Since that time, the family
group from the lone star state of Texas have been winning fans over with their unique blend of traditional quartet harmonies and contemporary gospel style. Securing a national distribution deal with Central South, The Gordons are now preparing for the release of their CD Project Love on their very own Airtone Entertainment label in early 2015.
Their single, Like You is making lasting impressions impacting radio and is available on iTunes and Amazon. All we can add is make sure you get a good seat to enjoy the ride.
