GORDON GROFT
Gordon Groft is a singular talent on the Sacramento music scene. This singer/songwriter/humorist plays 13 instruments and has recorded many CD’s as a solo artist. Born in South Dakota, Gordon took an interest in music during grade school. As the years went by, he taught himself to play many different instruments as he performed with cover bands throughout the United States.
Eventually, he landed gigs performing as a sideman for many legendary figures in rock and roll, including Chubby Checker, Sha Na Na, Tommy Roe and Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits. He has also played in Canada, Japan and throughout the Caribbean.
Gordon now fronts his own band, The Gordon Groft Band, which has been performing in the Sacramento region more than seven years. The band plays a wide variety of fun dance music, as well as an assortment of jazz favorites. The band can vary in size and instrumentation, ranging from an acoustic duo up to a 10-piece group featuring a killer horn section and backup vocalists. They have experience playing at festivals, corporate events, casinos, weddings and private parties.
Currently, Gordon performs with his trio aboard the historic Delta King in Old Sacramento every Friday and Saturday evening. The atmosphere is one of fun and entertainment as these three veteran musicians joke, play and sing through a wide variety of musical genres, including your requests.
