Add to My Profile | More Videos
24 year old Jordan Layne Bourland has worn all the "hats" in the music business.
He's done everything from teaching to performing; from owning his own studio to
conducting bluegrass workshops. Jordan has also played in many musicals and spent
a year as a house musician (guitar, mandolin and banjo) at a 1,500 seat theatre.
On stage he never fails to captivate the audience with his seemingly effortless
playing while entertaining them with his energetic and commanding stage presence.
Upon first listen, his ability to play any style of music becomes instantly clear.
From driving bluegrass, to big band, contemporary Christian, and classic country,
there is something for everyone.
Over the years Jordan has had the opportunity to play at the same events as many
of the world's best. Among those are Switchfoot, Charlie Daniels, Ronnie Milsap,
Rhonda Vincent, Furman Boyce and Harmony Express, IIIrd Tyme Out, Mountain Heart,
CTA, Larry Cordle, Tracey Lawrence, Lori Morgan, John Anderson, Steven Curtis Chapman,
Ray Price, The Oak Ridge Boys and many more.
Jordan has been teaching professionally for several years now, and has passed his
knowledge on to hundreds of students. While living in North Carolina he advanced
his rapidly growing business by opening the Jordan Layne Bourland - Studio of Music
& Arts in Roanoke Rapids, NC. At the studio, lessons were taught by Jordan for guitar,
mandolin, banjo, and Dobro in all musical styles. In addition to this, Jordan had
several other teachers in art, theatre, voice and just about any instrument available.
Jordan currently teaches in Spartanburg and Mauldin, SC and at a private studio in Greer, SC. Click here

Jordan has recently completed his most recent CD "Back Porch Hymns - More Old Time
Favorites". This CD continues the series of easy listening, traditional arrangements
of your favorite bluegrass gospel songs and hymns.
While living previously in Greenville, SC Jordan's Bluegrass Jam Camps created
quite a stir within the local bluegrass community. After the great success of his
first camp he received many submissions from students wishing to be a part of it.
Shortly after this he received the call to move to Roanoke Rapids and was unable
to continue these camps. However, now that he has relocated to the area there are
already plans for the next camp. If you are interested in joining one of these
camps please contact Jordan here.
Jordan has developed instructional material that has been used for the jam camps,
and by a large majority of his students, and is also available for your purchase.
