Todd is based in Edinburgh but regularly performs across the rest of Scotland and the UK as well as overseas.
Todd Gordon is a classic performer of American Songbook material who was inspired by the greats such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme to name but a few. Taking his lead from these, he adds to the material his own personal style and panache. As he has such an extensive repertoire, he can tailor the music to suit the occasion whether for dancing, or more subtle background effect, or for a lively party atmosphere.
"Gordon's made the American Songbook his own" - The Guardian
"Scottish cool" - Gilbert O'Sullivan
"The new King of Swing" - The Independent

Fantastic performance... you’re far too good for this lot!” - Sir Sean Connery

“A superior crooner from Scotland ...” - The definitive guide to the world's best jazz singers, Scott Yanow
“Todd’s voice can really tell a story" – Jamie Cullum
