"A little bit of gypsy and a whole lot of soul."  Described as gutsy and eclectic,  Riley's big bluesy vocals and acoustic guitar grooves blend with  splashes of rootsy piano and organ from Cres Crisp (Spectrum).  

Riley & Cres perform a blend of songs from the Rootsy side of  music.  Jazzy, Folksy, bluesy and rootsy covers from such artists as Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, John Butler, Marvin Gaye, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earl and Paul Kelly.   Drawing from the 1920's right through to rootsy remakes of tunes we all know and love.  www.myspace.com/rileyjordanmusic
