Casino shall be one of the tour venues for Jordan Johnson, a young and soulful singer/songwriter from New Zealand and South Africa and the show will be on the 7^th of January, 2012.

Born and raised in India, he calls himself an Indian dipped in bleach.  With strong cultural influences and experiences from his time spent living in India, Jordan’s growing repertoire clearly portrays these influences, exposing his soul through his music. Other than having a large repertoire of original songs he takes classics and latest numbers and adds his own creative flair to make them into very original covers.

His first official music video has been produced by the Tehelka Music Project. Jordan is currently gaining experience with live performances in different places around India. This entire year he has been doing various gigs to build up to his 5 city album release tour which begins from Goa and ends with a finale launch at the blue frog on January the 11th.

He is actively looking for more opportunities to further his career through performance and song writing which is where his musical passion lies.

Recently Jordan has been recording in a studio and is currently working on his debut album ‘Distance and a kiss ‘. Jordan has been playing music since a very early age and is strongly influenced by his mother and father who are also both very musical. His influences include popular Indie artists such as Fink, James Vincent McMorrow, and Bon Iver. He is also greatly influenced by John Mayer and Jack Johnson.

Some of Jordan’s goals include gaining more experience in the live performance aspect of his music, playing more gigs to a variety of audiences, expanding his repertoire, having some professional studio time for recording and playing at music festivals such as The Glastonbury music festival. With the support Jordan has from his family and friends and different record producers from the U.K and America, who all see in him the potential to make a significant mark on the music industry, Jordan will achieve these goals and go on to be a highly sought after and ground breaking singer and song writer.

Approximately the first week of January there are plans to launch Jordan Johnson’s album ‘ Distance and a Kiss ‘ through a 4 city tour , Starting from Goa- cochin-Pune and round it off with a final launch at the Blue Frog which has been confirmed for the 11th of January.
