He re-emerged full time in the early 2000s and since then he’s released 7 albums (4 of which earned Juno nominations), been nominated 15X for Maple Blues Awards and an American Blues Music Award.

Special Valentine’s Day show
with Jordan John and Prakash John
Greenfield’s Pub, 900 Greenbank Road
Sunday, February 14, 7 pm; tickets $35
There will be a special Valentine’s Day menu.
To say that vocal sensation Jordan John is a more
powerful and polished lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist than many players
twice his age would tell just a fraction of the story. He has already
compiled a longer list of credits, and displays more assuredness and maturity,
than many performers twice his age. Adept on drums, keyboards, guitar and
bass, he distils the blues, soul and rhythm & blues into a sound that is
both solidly traditional and a bold departure from the electronically generated
music that has saturated the pop charts in recent years.
Delivering a refined essence of traditional based
Blues, Soul & Rhythm ‘n’ Blues, this musical dynamo adds a breath of fresh
air to the contemporary music landscape. Only time will tell what the
future holds for this rising star. What is certain is that the results
will be potent, powerful and positive ... the soul stirring revelation that is
the music of Jordan John.
