Jordan Bluth - "Come Thou Fount" - Inspirational Vocal
This versatile, gifted artist has the rare ability to emote power and passion regardless of the musical style he performs. Classically trained, Jordan's love of all music helped create his 12 track debut CD. He crosses multiple genres with the ease of a veteran performer. He breathes new life in to timeless classics, whether performing a familiar Mozart aria ("Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schon"), a favorite Beatles tune ("Blackbird"), or a beloved Broadway standard ("Maria"). On the contemporary side, he offers intimate and innocent retellings of Billy Joel's hit, "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" and Eddy Arnold's 1950's country western ballad, "You Don't Know Me". "Come Thou Fount", a traditional, inspirational favorite, blends Jordan's remarkable voice with a striking new arrangement. Sit back, relax, listen and enjoy. Jordan will be sure to heal your heart and soothe your soul.
