My official website now up and fully operational!!!


Photobucket

www.gordonroque.com



I wanted my online home to have easy navigation and to be free of a lot of the flash graphics that seem to be popular right now.  I'd rather have a site that is easy for your average pc to upload regardless of the type of internet connection one has. 

It's cozy, accommodating, and features some cool photography. 

Here's some more of what you can find on my official website:

THE LATEST NEWS
--The latest news regarding shows and promotion for my music on the main home page.

LISTEN TO MUSIC
--You can hear songs fresh off of my debut album on the music player on each page.  No, the songs do not automatically play.  You have to press the 'play' button.  This gives you the option to listen (or not listen) to whatever you want. 

BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK
--You get a behind the scenes look at the making of my album "Seahorses" on the music page.  There are also some great photos from the studio as well as the story behind it all.

Hey Everyone,

Yup, that's right!!  I return to the stage for the first time this year this coming Friday, February 20, at Cafe Coco as I continue to promote my new album "Seahorses".  Songs from this album, as well as some newer goodies, will be included in the setlist.  I'll be joined by my very talented drummer David Sutton for this show. 

You can also catch the set by my special guests Vesta Rose.  This up-and-coming, three-piece rock band will be playing a mostly acoustic set. 

Here's the Official Banner:

Hope to see you all there!!!!!!!
