Originally from Central Illinois, Jeff Gordon has been living in the Branson, Missouri area since 1995. Starting with gospel at the young age of 8 years, he found that music was in his blood. A stepfather taught him how to play several different instruments and even included him in a gospel band, giving him his first debut as an entertainer. As Jeff recalls he was scared to death; playing the drums wasn't so bad, but singing – well that leads to the rest of the story.

As he was growing up, his favorite artists were Marty Robbins, Elvis Presley and Tom Jones, but that didn't stop him from venturing into rock, country, the oldies, a little blues, jazz and, of course, gospel and patriotic music.

Jeff has a wide vocal range, which allows him to sing songs from many different types of artists. Conway Twitty, George Jones, Gene Watson, Marty Robbins, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and even Louis Armstrong are just of few of the many artists that he does.

In his variety shows, guests get a mixture of entertainers, including a few of his own originals. Gordon sings Chubby Checker, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Tom Jones and several classic country artists.

As for the Elvis Tribute Show, lots of people have said that they saw Elvis in concert and it brings back great memories; it's like having Elvis right there in the building with them.

He's been an opening act for Daryle Singletary and Tommy Cash. Over the years, he has performed at numerous venues including fairs, festivals, corporate parties, private parties, bars and clubs, stage shows, Oprys, dinner theatres and major production shows such as First Night, Branson Centerstage, benefits, trade shows, VFWs, American Legions, Elks, and Moose Lodges.

Jeff has two original albums "Fearless Heart" and "Wrong, Mrs. Right." He has also recorded several other CDs.

He intrigues audiences young and old with his powerful voice that changes with every artist that he does. His versatility, spontaneity and style, seem to capture their hearts.
