Bio / Background
Berkeley, California-based songwriter Gordon Whiting describes himself as a performer in the tradition of Kevin Ayers and John Simon. His CD Blues for Katherine cuts through a range of literary and musical influences, and showcases his pursuit of fat guitar tone.
Music for Gordon began at age eight, studying under Judy Collins' guitarist Tom Carvey in Los Angeles. Later, when the family moved to Singapore, Gordon was exposed to eclectic music like Chinese Opera, Gamelan, Raga and English Music Hall. At age 14 he began leading jazz and rock ensembles at the Singapore American School, playing at school dances and local clubs.
At 16 Gordon helped put together a band that recorded an LP entitled Home Again, which included four of his original songs. The following year he directed the school musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, leading a cast, choir and band numbering through the challenging 100 minute score.
