Following the success of her debut album, 'Soul Of A Showgirl,' which blended theatrical jazz with Americana, country, and blues, Gordon's new work showcases her evolution as an artist, offering introspective storytelling with a soulful edge.

'Woodstock' is a blues-infused rock ballad that pays homage to the legendary festival on its 55th anniversary.

With its raw energy and rich narrative, 'Woodstock' captures the essence of the era while blending the grit of blues and the edge of rock.

Recorded at East Bay Recorders in Oakland, CA, and produced by Gordon alongside Brian Rodvien and James DePrato, the track features fuzzed-out Wurlitzer keys, dynamic vocals, and subtle nods to Woodstock legends like Richie Havens, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. The song's intricate production includes a powerful guitar solo and vibrant percussion, culminating in a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Gordon's upcoming album, 'Traveler,' reflects her journey as a musician, combining country, folk, and rock influences to create a collection of introspective and heartfelt songs inspired by her experiences on the road.
