Nashville-based artist and performer Gordon Roque is currently seeking a drummer to join his band as he prepares to record and promote his brand new, forthcoming, full-length album to be released later this year.

Qualities desired include a strong background in jazz and the versatility to perform a variety of styles (Latin, big band, funk, pop, classical, etc.)  Musicians who have large egos and a lack of humility and respect towards the creative process need not apply.

An easy-going demeanor and a strong work ethic will be wholeheartedly appreciated.When chosen, this drummer will be actively involved in the arrangement of all the new songs in Roque’s upcoming LP,  as well as performing on the recordings and playing in shows.  Roqué hopes to have a  fully collaborative and creative partnership with this drummer.

Please send all serious inquiries via e-mail at gordon(at)gordonroque(dot)com.

Gordon Roqué Raises Funds for his New Album

On August 1, 2012, Gordon Roque launched an online fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $3,500 to record the collection of songs for his new album.  This was a 45 day campaign that also included a birthday fundraising show at Cafe Coco on August 25.

On Saturday, September 15, the campaign ended with a grand total of $2,224 raised due to the generous donations from people all over the country.  This final tally includes funds generated through the online indiegogo site, the birthday fundraiser, and donations mailed directly to Gordon Roqué.

Even though the funding goal was not reached, there is enough money to proceed with the album and to begin the recording process.  

In October, Gordon Roqué will launch an art sale and auction to raise the remainder of the funds needed to complete this project.

Plans are now being made to record the new album in November and December later this year.  There is lots of hard work ahead.

Special thanks to everyone who donated funds and who helped spread the word.  This new album has been over three years in the making, and it will be Gordon's most ambitious work to date.
