Gordon Munding

From the Fingerlakes area of New York State, Gordon Munding is an accomplished Blues, Roots and Folk musician. He is part of  Rochester  N.Y. Blues and Folk scene and a respected friend and peer.  Since the 1980’s, after meeting and opening for guitar gurus like Doc Watson and Richard Thompson, Gordon began to master the Piedmont and Delta guitar styles. He has also mastered the resonator guitar, playing and teaching students this unique style, emulating the blues masters, while encouraging original  improvisation.        
Gordon has been featured in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle for many various projects including his performance in last year during Journey to the Son blues festival, headlined by John Hammond among others.   Frank DeBlase, of  Rochester City Newspaper describes Munding style as: “He dances across old National strings with red clay overtones in the swampy air. Crisscrossing with Appalachian,  Bluegrass Delta Blues, arising from the smoke of an impending collision….  In another article Frank listed Munding as one his “favorite guitarists” in Rochester ’s eclectic music scene.”
In 2006 Gordon started a weekly tribute to Delta blues legend Son House (who was rediscovered living in  Rochester  N.Y. in the 60’s). This jam continues today, while Gordon’s original songs are still being aired on local and regional radio stations.  The Son House Blues Night jam continues today, almost 10 years later, (now hosted by local Bluesman Genesee Johnny). 
Gordon has opened for many national acts, including: Doc Watson, John Hammond & John Mooney. He has fronted local & regional bands, including Blue Delta, and most recently founded the popular band The Crawdiddies.  He currently performs solo and teaches blues and fingerstyle guitar in workshops, festivals and schools.
