Their live performance ebbs and flows as each singer takes a turn leading the intimate and humorous show, with the other three artists singing back-up and supporting the current frontman.

91裸聊视频淲e do it as if we91裸聊视频檙e a band, but we91裸聊视频檙e all separate songwriters. It91裸聊视频檚 a lot of fun. Depending on how much wine is consumed, the show can take a turn,91裸聊视频� he laughs.

91裸聊视频淚 still learn stuff from these guys.91裸聊视频�

Jordan moved to Los Angeles in 1978 when he was signed to Warner Music in Burbank, Calif. by Gary Katz 91裸聊视频� the producer of Steely Dan.

When Jordan was living in Los Angeles, he spent most of his time recording music and writing songs with and for Diana Ross, Kansas, Manhattan Transfer, Kenny Loggins, Amanda Marshall, Amy Sky, Bette Midler, Natalie Cole, Roch Voisin, Canadian Tenors, Shawn Colvin, Olivia Newton-John, and Joe Cocker, among others, and while he certainly played a major role in the Los Angeles music scene, he spent little time playing in front of a live audience. Now back in Canada, Jordan is excited to be performing live again, this time with Lunch at Allen91裸聊视频檚.

91裸聊视频淟ots of laughs and lots of great music,91裸聊视频� Jordan says of their live performance. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not the same every night. But we talk about the songs and how they came to be. We give a little background in the process of writing songs.

91裸聊视频淢usic is a gift. It91裸聊视频檚 a gift to the people who are listening. It makes us feel good that we can play songs people have heard. They get to hear them the way they were written.91裸聊视频�
