About Me |
|
| ......gordie sampson is a musical whirlwind, perpetually creating a brilliant writer, an innovative producer, and a dynamic performer.gordie's musical genius is applauded by audiences and industry players alike. From his national debut in the early 90's to his presence today on the nashville writing scene where international recording stars are discovering and recording his material including faith hill (paris), george canyon (my name), keith urban covering the hard way and you (or somebody like you) and carrie underwood (Jesus take the wheel) which spent a whopping six weeks in the number one position on billboard. he has also more recently
had cuts with trace adkins (words get in the way) and leeann rimes (save myself) and (long night).gordie's second solo recording, titled sunburn is an intelligent, original and compelling hook laden cd. from the weary truth of the title track sunburn to the aching melancholy of paris, it has been worth the wait for avid fans of this musical phenomenon. sunburn, has garnered him a juno nomination for songwriter of the year and five 2005 east coast music awards.sampson's certainly no stranger to the music scene. as a co-writer, guitarist and singer, sampson played a key role in the canadian top 20 success of pop/rock band realworld in the early 1990s. gordie then shifted his attention to the more traditional music of his native cape breton island and soon found himself working with the top traditional acts of the day. he continued to expand his horizons by working as musical director for stage and television productions and honing his skills in the studio.when stones was released to rave reviews, gordie earned a juno nomination and half a dozen east coast music and music industry association of nova scotia awards. the second single, sorry, would draw particular attention to gordie as a songwriter, while touring with the rankins introduced him to new audiences as a performer, and producing natalie macmaster's 1999 album in my hands, earned gordie a new level of respect and a pair of national awards.
