All My Friends Are In Bar Bands

Born Sophie Payten, Gordi was a wide-eyed kid falling in love with music out in country New South Wales on her family farm. After being particularly inspired by a Missy Higgins show in her teens, she focused her attention on songwriting - first a folksy dreamer, then a maximalist indie-pop maestro. Her debut LP, Reservoir, was released to critical acclaim in 2017 and lead to huge tours both nationally and internationally. In late November, Gordi played a sold-out show at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory. Just after her soundcheck, however, she took some time to map out her story from out in Coutawindra to the bright lights of New York City. Gordi's debut album, Reservoir, is out now. It can be streamed, purchased and downloaded here: http://gordi.bandcamp.com/album/reservoir Gordi will be on tour in support of Missy Higgins this May across Australia.
