Gordon West, is a songwriter and singer from Central Kentucky. He has been playing Guitar and Writing since the mid eighties.
His two main styles are Country and Blues. With the influences of Rock-a-billy coming through from the combination of the two.
He is a co-writer and guitar player for Under Ground Angel.
He is currently looking for a music publisher.Band/artist history
I got my first guitar when I was around five. A guy that lived near us taught me to play "Love Me Tender". I wore that song out for about three years.
Then my uncle, Gary West, started teaching me to really play. We lived near him for about a year. That was one of the best years I've had. We left there and from then on I've been on my own.
I've played with several bands from high school until today. None of them have been famous but all of them have been fun.
Currently I am the guitar player and sometimes vocalist in Underground Angel. You can check out our stuff here on soundclick or through our company at zaggmusic.comHave you performed in front of an audience?Yes,in and around the central Kentucky area.
