ABOUT

Josh Gordon is a Toronto based professional guitarist.  By age 17 he completed the Grade 8 level and Grade 2 theory studies on piano via the Royal Conservatory of Music program.  He then began playing the guitar professinally around the Toronto bar scene.  During his 25 plus year career he has opened for Canadian icons such as Jeff Healey, David Wilcox, and Wild T & the Spirit.  From 2015 - 2020 Josh toured across Canada and the United States with Bob Seger tribute act Against the Wind. 

He now performs around Toronto and throughout Ontario with country-rock trio Dirt Road Highway.  Josh also substitutes with another Bob Seger tribute act FOREVER SEGER in Canada and the USA.  When he's not touring, Josh is either writing or doing session work right in his home studio.
