Riley Jordan:A brief History

Riley Jordan has had two musical lifetimes. In her late teens and early twenties she produced 2 singles and featured on National TV shows: 'Hey Hey It's Saturday', 'Midday Show' and 'In Melbourne Today'. She has worked with some of the cream of Australian talent, including members of bands such as Little River Band, John Farnham band and Kids in the Kitchen. In her late 20's and 30's, she veered heavily into soul, gospel, tribal rhythms and A Cappella music.....and then the exotic roots mix for which she is currently known started to form.

The culmination of all this was the release of her debut CD "Down the Mother's Track", reviewed in The Age Entertainment Guide with 3.5 stars and launched at 'Chapel Off Chapel'. She has also released an EP 'The Secret Daughter's Rhyme' from the Quietly Cathartic Series 1. Her new CD "Welcome to my Circus" is due out 2009.

 

Riley has had requests for her recordings from such places as Poland, Belgium, USA, Argentina and Russia.

Riley's Debut CD received three and a half stars when it was reviewed the The EG of The Age.
