gordietentreesGORDIE TENTREES is definitely a hot talent from a cold climate.  Hailing from the Yukon, he and bandmates Ken Hermanson and Matt King, recently released their third album, Mercy or Sin. This album captures the band’s dynamic live show and growth of songwriter Gordie Tentrees. He has toured relentlessly in North America, Europe and the UK building an international buzz in the roots music scene. He has opened for Fred Eaglesmith, Kelly Joe Phelps, shared the stage with the D-Rangers, Rick Fines, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, performed live on CBC Saturday Night Blues, and showcased at North American Folk Alliance, WCMA’s, and SXSW.  As Bill Hurley from American Media Guide wrote, “If there is justice in this business, years from now we may be looking back and talking about the recording that brought this Canadian singer songwriter to the forefront of his genre. The songs are dark, the melodies haunting,the voice brooding all meshed together with sophisticated instrumentation that marries acoustic guitar,harmonica, cello, steel guitar and an angelic, harmonic chorus.” www.tentrees.ca
