Sass Jordan
Back at the beginning of the year, Bowie fans were excited.
Sass Jordan was also excited about “A Bowie Celebration” tour through North America.
“A Bowie Celebration” was set to return to North America in March following a major European tour in January this year. The run was slated to kick off in San Diego on March 3 and include 30 shows across United States and Canada – including a date at the Keswick Theater in Glenside.
“A Bowie Celebration” features key alumni musicians of David Bowie’s bands from across the decades. Anchored by Mike Garson, the band features a revolving selection of additional performers which include Gerry Leonard, Carmine Rojas, Kevin Armstrong and Alan Childs. This tour will focus on Bowie’s fifth album “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” and his eighth studio album “Diamond Dogs” — both ranked amongst the greatest albums of all time.
Garson, who is the keyboardist and band leader, is the longest-standing member of any of Bowie’s bands, having performed with Bowie at more than 1,000 concerts. Leonard was a Bowie musical director and guitar player. Joining them are bassist Carmine Rojas and Alan Childs, who was Bowie’s drummer on his 1987 “Glass Spider” world tour. Armstrong also joins the David Bowie alumni tour having recorded and played with Bowie at Live Aid, on the first Tin Machine album and tour, amongst other Bowie projects. Between them, the alumni band have over 40 years tenure recording, writing and playing live with Bowie.
Other members of the current “A Bowie Celebration” lineup announced were vocalist Canada’s rock sensation Sass Jordan, Corey Glover (founding member of Living Colour) and Joe Sumner (a singer-songwriter and bassist for the rock band Fiction Plane).
Unfortunately, COVID-19 arrived, and live concerts disappeared – at least for the immediate future.
Operating with a sense of optimism, Mike Garson’s “A Bowie Celebration” has announced specific dates for 14 of the performances that were postponed or cancelled because of the global pandemic. The tour will resume on September 2 in Detroit and include a show at the Keswick Theatre on September 17.
General and VIP tickets can be purchased here at http://www.ABowieCelebration.com/. A portion of tour proceeds will go to The Recording Academy® and its affiliated charitable foundation MusiCares® COVID-19 Relief Fund to help peers in the music community affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

“This is a great show,” said Jordan, during a phone interview prior to the cancellation of the spring shows. “I just got back from Israel with them.
“The project is Mike Garson’s thing. Bernard Fowler was with the project for a while asked me to come on. The last two times they played Toronto, they asked me to come and sing a few songs. That’s how I met them.”
The band operates with Bowie’s music as the core of its DNA.
Garson is featured on numerous Bowie albums, including his much talked about masterly solo on the “Aladdin Sane” track. Garson was Bowie’s longest and most frequent band member.
On Garson, Bowie said “It is pointless to talk about his ability as a pianist. He is exceptional. However, there are very, very few musicians, let alone pianists, who naturally understand the movement and free thinking necessary to hurl themselves into experimental or traditional areas of music, sometimes, ironically, at the same time. Mike does this with such enthusiasm that it makes my heart glad just to be in the same room with him.”
Leonard was music director and guitar player for Bowie on his “Reality” world tour and DVD along with Bowie’s previous two records, “Heathen” and “Reality” and their subsequent tours along with his “The Next Day” album. Further credits include recording and touring as guitar player and music director for artists such as Suzanne Vegas, Rufus Wainwright, Laurie Anderson, Duncan Sheik and Roger Waters.
Rojas toured the world with Bowie, playing bass on several multi-platinum hits such as “Let’s Dance”, “China Girl”, “Modern Love” and “Blue Jean” on the “Serious Moonlight” and “Glass Spider” tours. Rojas has also recorded and toured with Julian Lennon and Rod Stewart as musical director and bassist.
Armstrong first met Bowie in 1985 on sessions for “Absolute Beginners” after which he helped him put the band together and play for his Live Aid performance followed by recording the Bowie / Jagger song “Dancing in the Street” together. Armstrong played on the Bowie’s first Tin Machine album and tour and wrote and played on the “Outside” album with Bowie who introduced him to Iggy Pop and was featured on their “Blah Blah Blah” album. Armstrong continues to play with Iggy Pop today.
Childs was Bowie’s drummer on his 1987 “Glass Spider” world tour and is featured on the tour album and DVD. Childs has also played with Julian Lennon, Rod Stewart, John Waite and many others.
Glover is a founding member of Living Colour, which earned numerous industry awards including back-to-back Grammys for Best Hard Rock Performance and emerged as one of the most influential rock acts of all time.
Jordan has received a Canadian Juno Award, Billboard’s Best Female Rock Vocalist award and was a judge on the hit Canadian Idol television program. She also starred in the Off-Broadway production of “Love, Janis” and has worked with Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Steve Miller Band, Van Halen, The Foo Fighters, Cheap Trick, Santana, Joe Cocker, Styx, Rodger Hodgson, April Wine, Jeff Healy, and countless others.
In a pre-tour press release, Jordan said, “I am extremely honored to be part of a show that celebrates the astonishing legacy of one of my ultimate idols, David Bowie, as well as getting to play with some of the master musicians from his bands. Bowie is one of the reasons I wanted to be a performer, and doing this tour is like playing a love letter to his memory every night!”
Jordan is a British-born Canadian rock singer from Montreal, Quebec. Her first single, “Tell Somebody,” from her debut album of the same name won the Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist in 1989. Since then, she has been nominated three more times and won the Billboard Best Female Rock Vocalist award.
Jordan was born in Birmingham, England to French-born literary professor Albert Jordan and former ballerina Jean Lanceman. When Jordan was three years old, Albert Jordan moved his family from France to Montreal.
In her early teens, Jordan regularly sang and played guitar with a group of friends in Westmount Park. By the age of 16, Sass Jordan began performing with bands at clubs in downtown Montreal, eventually becoming a vocalist/bassist for high-profile local band The Pinups.
Montreal’s burgeoning ’70’s scene included a ‘no holds barred’ approach to glam, punk, blues, prog, metal, country, jazz, folk, with the added attraction of a homegrown sound created by the Quebecois artists of the decade, unique to the landscape and pertinent to the denizens of the period. There was no better musical place to be in the ’70’s- and this was the backdrop that nurtured one of the pioneers of female fronted rock – Sass Jordan.
In 1986, Jordan made her recording debut on the Bündock album “Mauve” as co-lead vocalist on the song “Come On (Baby Tonight).” She soon began working as a session vocalist for other Montreal-based acts, notably for The Box. Local acts began recording songs written by Jordan, including the Canadian hit single “Rain” by Michael Breen, which was featured on his 1987 self-titled album.
The roots that grew Canada’s “Queen of Rock” — Sass Jordan — started in Europe and edged across the pond to the veins of metal pulsing in the musical metallurgy of Montreal in the 70’s.
In the years since these auspicious beginnings, Jordan has worked with many of the people that inspired her to do what she does including Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Steve Miller Band, Van Halen, The Foo Fighters, Cheap Trick, Santana, Joe Cocker, Styx, Rodger Hodgson, April Wine, Jeff Healy, and countless others. She has won various awards, including Juno and Billboard, and has sold over a million records worldwide.
Jordan was a feature actor in the episodic television show “Sisters.” From 2003-2008, she starred as one of the four judges on the hugely popular television series, “Canadian Idol.” Her songs and performances have been featured on numerous television shows, including the iconic 90’s “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider,” The Dennis Miller Show, and SyFy’s “Defiance.”
She is currently working on new music while continuing to perform live concerts. And, she is developing a webisode/podcast series called “Roadogs and the 10 Commandments of Rock” in support of her friend Tom Petersson’s foundation — RockYourSpeech.com.
In the interview back in February, Jordan said, “When Mike invited me to do the Bowie tour in March and April, I thought it was a great idea. Some people had dropped out, so they asked me to join for shows in Europe and Israel.
“It’s been a blast. Mike Garson is a badass. He’s 74 years old and so energetic – and an unbelievable player. With this show, I’m onstage the whole time. I do about five songs including ‘Five Years’ and ‘Panic in Detroit.’
“The timing of the tour is also good for me. I’ve got a new record coming out and I haven’t been in the states in a year.”
In the interim, Jordan’s new album has dropped. “Rebel Moon Blues” was released on March 13 on Stony Plain Records.
“Rebel Moon Blues” is an eight-song album spotlighting her signature voice in a wholly dedicated blues endeavor across seven diligently selected covers plus one knockout original, “The Key.” She is also introducing the world to a new brand — Rebel Moon Whisky.
With the new music, Jordan shows that she is just as adept singing the blues as he is belting out rockers.
According to Jordan, “I was very slow on the uptake. It was one of those things that’s so dang obvious you just can’t see it. But yeah, the blues has always been a huge part of my life. It’s a big part of what I grew up with. It’s been there through my entire career. People have always said, ‘You’re so bluesy.’ And it’s true.
“My singing is blues inflected. My songs use blues-type licks. If you listen to my album ‘Rats,’ it’s totally blues-based. I didn’t do any of that on purpose. It isn’t contrived. It’s just me. So, it’s always been there. It just took me this long to decide I could finally do it for real. Or at least do my version of it.”
Produced by Jordan and D#, “Rebel Moon Blues” is the JUNO Award-winner’s ninth studio album and first release in nearly a decade. All killer and no filler, the album features the inimitably raspy rock goddess jubilantly celebrating the songs, sounds and styles of everyone from old masters like Willie Dixon, Elmore James and Freddie King to younger, louder guns like Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher.
“Rebel Moon Blues” was recorded at Toronto’s Canterbury Music Company studio in just three fast-paced days, with Jordan and the Champagne Hookers — her touring band of guitarists Chris Caddell and Jimmy Reid, bassist Derrick Brady and drummer Cassius Pereira, augmented by blues harp master Steve Marriner and keyboardist Jesse O’Brien — all playing live in the same room at the same time.
According to Jordan, “The energy is so different when you’re playing it live. It’s a different frequency, a different vibe. It’s very joyous. You can hear a lot of us laughing on there. I love that kind of thing. It’s like you’re right there with us. We’re there, we’re live, and we’re having a blast, baby!”
Jordan has also come out with a new brand, Rebel Moon Whisky, to go along with her Kick Ass Sass wine.
According to Jordan, “Whisky is my spirit animal. There aren’t any female singers doing a whisky line yet, that I know of. It’s a whole new thing! Besides, what goes better with blues than whisky or wine?”

It might be a while until Jordan’s fans get to hear her perform songs from “Rebel Moon Blues” live. But, if all goes well, they’ll be able to hear her perform Bowie songs on the rescheduled “A Bowie Celebration” tour.
Rescheduled appearances start on September 2 in Detroit and include stops in St. Charles, IL; Munhall, PA; Falls Church, VA; Toronto, ON; Medford, MA; Lebanon, NH; New London, CT; and Red Bank, NJ.
The final four shows are scheduled for the Keswick Theatre on September 17, Bergen PAC in Englewood, NJ on September 18, Sony Hall in New York City on September 19 and Tilles Center in Brookville, NY on September 20.
According to the tour website, “We should have more news on our show in Princeton, NJ soon. Unfortunately, we were unable to be reschedule shows in Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Cleveland, Atlanta, Melbourne, Clearwater, Lakeland and Ft. Lauderdale this year. Those who have already purchased tickets to these previously scheduled shows should hear from your point of purchase about a refund. We look forward to returning to continue the celebration with you all next year…”
The Kennett Symphony has long been one of Chester County’s cultural treasures. Because of the current pandemic, the Symphony has been forced to cancel the remainder of its 2019-2020 season – and to suffer related financial losses.
Kennett Symphony Music Director Michael Hall just posted the following message:
Dear Friends and Fans of the Kennett Symphony,
Thank you for being an important part of the Kennett Symphony family. We miss seeing you in the concert hall. We are looking forward to being together again when it is safe to do so.
Over the past few weeks, we made the heart-wrenching decision to cancel the remainder of Kennett Symphony’s 2019-2020 concert season – our Family concert, our Reimagined concert at Mendenhall Inn, two Longwood Gardens concerts and our spring fund raiser with the Philadelphia Orchestra Percussion Group. With health and safety concerns for our patrons and the musicians paramount, it was the right decision. Ironically, when the need to bring music lovers together for inspiration and solace is greatest, our stage is silent.
Yes, our season ended, but we have much to do to ensure stability now as we plan for next season. Like our Symphony’s strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion, all parts must harmonize to keep us operating smoothly. If you can, please consider a special gift to help us move forward.
Gifts in support of the Kennett Symphony will help us:
Honor our commitments to artistic direction, financial management, promotion, fund raising, personnel, and monthly expenses
Honor our commitments to our staff members
Seek out new ways to connect with you via media like Facebook, YouTube, and our website.
Your donation will help supply the energy, the inspiration and the resources to meet these objectives and respond to this crisis. Your support will help the Symphony take steps toward the 2020-2021 season.
Please support our mission with a tax-deductible gift to the Kennett Symphony. Thanks to generous donors, new and increased gifts will be matched $1 for every $2 you give.
On behalf of all of us at the Kennett Symphony, thank you for your support. We send our best wishes for health and safety to you and yours.
Sincerely,
Michael Hall
Music Director
