"Canada’s Gordie Tentrees is not your average twang-laden folk balladeer. The former boxing champion (three-time Golden Glove winner) and youth worker found music after his sporting career and now finds himself surfing hotel rooms, couches, planes and buses to bring his engaging stories to audiences around the globe including a stop in Australia for thirty shows this March and April.

His sixth album “Less is More” brings together his knack for melody with his amazing ability to hold an audience in the palm of his hands (both during and between songs!) and is a deeply personal, moving, melodic and sometimes humorous look at life through the eyes of a unique and infectious personality.

Joining Tentrees for his Australian tour is legendary Canadian musician Jaxon Haldane on banjo, mandolin, fiddle-saw and cigar box guitars. Haldane is known for leading his mutant-bluegrass band (D-Rangers) on the festival circuit for the last 10 years, as well as producing and appearing on some of the most prolific records to come out of North America. He will be performing a short solo set, then performing with Gordie in a duo format."
