Gordon Sterling & The People/Chris Fitz
About this Event
Doors 7
In the heart of the nation's capital, Gordon Sterling and The People, a Soul/Funk, Blues/Rock ensemble, have carved a prominent presence, regularly captivating audiences to sold-out performances. Central to their music is Gordon's effervescent energy, soulful voice, and deeply introspective lyrics based on his lived experiences. The band is, also, a vessel for Gordon to craft waves of awareness around the experiences and perspectives of being Black in America. From a visionary dream at the age of 15, Jamaican American Gordon Sterling received a call to awaken humanity to aspects of themselves forgotten, through the power of music. Embracing this mission wholeheartedly, Gordon embarked on a musical voyage that has spanned over 25 years, establishing his prowess as a revered singer, songwriter, and guitarist. If you like artists such as Gary Clark Junior, Michael Kiwanuka, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Lettuce, and Galactic, then you don’t want to miss Gordon Sterling and The People! Gordon has shared stages with heavyweights such as Warren Haynes, Karl Denson, Derek Trucks Band, Blues Traveler, The Wailers, and Soulive just to name a few. Gordon Sterling and The People are set to hit the road in support of their greatly anticipated second full length album called "One Crow Shy of a M**der", which is slated for release on July, 25th.
