  • Bio

    Thank you for all your help, support and prayers. Without you none of this would be possible. I appreciate each and everyone of you more than you will ever know. I sincerely hope I brought some pleasurable moments to you through my music. I began playing piano at nine years old and studied Classical piano in high school.I love to play many styles as well as the guitar. I graduated from Florida School Of Performing Arts. I enjoyed performing on stage and the Characters I played were an exciting part of my training. I also attended Dr. Martin Luther College for a teaching degree, however after a few years decided to pursue my musical career in Nashville Tennessee where I had visited in the summers a few times with my parents from Florida. My dad and I would set out early in the morning on Music Row handing out my cassette tape and promo pkg. What an exciting time of my life as a young teen especially meeting Archie Jordan the hit writer for Ronnie Milsap and having an invitation to do some demos in his studio next to his home just outside of Nashville. I was about fourteen at the time. I ended up saying good bye to Mom and Dad in Florida where I was raised and moved to Nashville at nineteen years old. I got a job at the West End Cooker Restaurant in Nashville waiting tables and toured with my band I later got together on the weekends. Times were hard. I had no idea how I was going to make it but somehow I struggled through it all and I will never forget the valuable experiences I gained as a young artist trying to make my way amongst many young artist living their own dream in Nashville as well. With much prayer and determination I made it through those tough years and now living my dream after many years here in Tennessee. I have toured the Country and Have performed and opened for musicians I dreamed of like Montgomery Gentry in 2005 and then Billy Ray Cyrus who I did a radio show with and opened for Rhonda Vincent to name a few. I love doing Fan fair every year in Nashville and Christmas for kids. While continuing over the years writing music I had two of my songs from my first album to hit the music Row Country Chart as well as other charts. One of my songs I co wrote from my album Angels Cry ended up on GAC TV for a year. I had been thinking about sending in one of my videos to a TV Station so I did and landed a slot on national TV with my own program called 'Turnin To County' so that took another journey of filming my project for TV and quite another challenging but rewarding adventure. My show aired on national TV from Jan 08 - June 08 and will return in Feb 26 2009 on BLUE HIGHWAY TV www.bluehighwaystv.com. Yes it is on line and also Comcast. I am currently writing songs for my new album and hopefully will be released in 09. Thanks again for your help, support and prayers!

Currently looking for sponsors to advertise your business or product on my TV show. ADDRESS; TURNIN TO COUNTRY TV SHOW PO BOX 1111 MELROSE, FLORIDA 32666 www.bluehighwaystv.net Turnin' to Country Between Los Angeles and New York there is a whole lot of America waiting to be discovered for those willing to venture off the beaten path. Turnin' to Country is your vehicle to the road less traveled. Using a journalistic approach country music artist, Tresa Jordan, travels across the country visiting small towns that may not be on the national radar, yet each has its own cultural, historical and artistic appeal and charm as well as fairs, festivals and expos. Shot in High Definition and edited in a very contemporary style, Turnin' to Country artistically combines modern-day techniques with old time charm. "This show is about bringing beautiful small towns, and the stories surrounding them, into the living rooms of millions of people who either can't travel or who are looking for new places to go for a weekend get-away or a vacation. I'm from a small town and when I visit these places, it's kind of like going home for me. The people, the stories they tell about their town, the pride they have in it, it's really touching and inspiring." says Jordan. Tresa got the idea for Turnin' to Country when she was traveling across America performing at Country and Bluegrass shows and festivals. She found that she was learning new things, eating great food unique to each area, and hearing stories about people that she never would have known about if she hadn't been there herself. She found that she desired to get back to the places where the locals are genuine and the pace is slower. Then it dawned on her. If she felt this way, surely other people would too. As Tresa searches to find out what makes each town or event special, the nice surprise turns out to be the unique and heart-warming stories of its citizens. Whether it's a bronze sculptor with international recognition living the quiet life in a small town, or a handicapped stock-dog trainer who doesn't let her disability keep her from doing what she loves, you'll find yourself getting wrapped up in each moment. Tresa has a way of adding her own special touch to every episode and viewers fall in love with her personality and warmth. The diary-styled show has Tresa giving her afterthoughts of her visit, therefore allowing for more information to be given than simply what is shown on the screen. With artists, musicians, storytellers and craftsman, from festivals, town squares to historic places, Turnin' to Country is your guide to a wonderful journey across undiscovered America. ________ You are invited to watch my TV show on line.

TRESA'S TV SHOW TURNIN TO COUNTRY AIRED ON NATIONAL TV JAN 08 - JUNE 08 AND WILL RETURN NEXT SEASON March 2009. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS ON TRESA'S TV SHOW! WWW.TURNINTOCOUNTRY.COM ............ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. * Part of Tresa's musical talent was most likely inherited from her Great Grandfather of German heritage on her Fathers side. He was a gifted songwriter and pianist who was raised in New York City and played in The New York Big Bands back in the 20's like Paul Whiteman {King of jazz} and Ted Lewis {Mr.Entertainment}. He also played for silent movies. Tresa's Great Grandfather could make a piano dance and even in his golden years everywhere he went if they had a piano he would sit down and play. People would gather around and were mesmerized by his amazing natural talent. He later retired in Florida and passed away the year Tresa was born. Recently Tresa was informed that her Great Grandfather on her Mothers side could pic a five string banjo and was also a gifted musician. The Jordan family would get together by the old pond and pic for hours. While they were pickin Granny was in the kitchen fixin a feast with her apron on and barefoot. Tresa's talent and love for music definitely comes from both sides of the track! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tresa was also featured on the front cover of New Weekly magazine in 2006 and New country Weekly Magazine 2007, RFD TV Magazine 2008.

ARMY SGT SERVED IN IRAQ. NOTE FROM SGT DAMON SUITER DEAR TRESA, About what seems like a year ago you sent me a note to say thank you for my service well I thought I would give you an update on where I am now. I was Medivaced from Iraq in April 2007 for a TBI or (traumatic brain injury) I spent 5 months at Walter Reed and than I went home for a while in August 07 in January of 08 I was taken to another hospital in MN. for more treatment and I stayed there till March 6th 08 I am now sitting in Ft Knox Kentucky waiting to be retired out of the army because of the wounds that I received in combat in Iraq. I remember the very nice note that you sent to my wife and I and thought I would say thank you. There is not enough people in this world that understand the things that we sacrifice for our Country. I hope that I can return to my family soon and that I can put this part of my life behind me and help my family to deal with the trauma that has become Iraq. Those that suffer are not always soldiers. My wife and children have had to watch their father and Mother go through all this and try and hold the family together. It has been hard but any way, thank you for your kind note it helps to think that there are people in this world who still care about the men and women in our armed forces. Sgt Damon Suiter _____________________________________________________________________________COMMENTS ON TRESA JORDAN'S CD:.. Tresa Jordans debut CD displays a level of confidence and musical commitment rarely heard on a first release... -Steven Stone, Vintage Guitar Magazine .... A contemporary take on a classic country record, Jordan keeps it simple, keeps it tasty and has more going for her than her Breck girl looks. Christ Spector, Midwest Record .... Jordans voice has the kind of honest, undiluted sensibility and sensuality that can neither be faked nor taught. Its a rich, sonically true, emotionally piercing quality that marvelously punctuates and embellishes the messages on pieces like Angels Cry, Hold On To You or Long Time Comin Round. Ron Wynn, Nashville City Paper .... Her music will resonate with country fans, because she's singing their life back to them. She's found the words and the music to communicate the trials and triumphs of ordinary people. She doesn't sing about fairytales, she sings about real life. --Music City News.... This is a thoroughly satisfying album chock full of feelgood country pop tunes that are memorable and effective. (5 +++) -- Don W. Seven, BabySue .... Jordans music walks a tightrope between traditional country music and todays popular country pop sound. Greg Yost, The Grab Bag .... This self-titled album uses pure acoustics to obtain a strong, raw country style, allowing Tresas crisp voice to tell the story. Tina Swanson, Music City Nashville .... She braved many obstacles in her career to bring the world this masterpiece of lyric and song. --Jeff Jones, Positive Entertainment .... Once in a great while, out of the blue, comes an Indie masterpiece, such is the case of Tresa Jordan... this has not been a stellar year for music, Jordan has given me hope again that it still exists. Also, that good acoustic/bluegrass still lives. --Jim Moulton, Country Stars Online .... Tresa Jordan's debut is simply one of the sweetest country records I've heard this year. Aptly self-titled, it's full of natural touches but never overdone: her beautiful melodies complimented by crisp production, soulfully sung without a hint of vocal acrobatics. Guy-Michael Grande, The Chronicle EAR CANDY___________________ SONG WRITERS~ Mark Brinkman and Tresa Jordan ...... _____ RIP BLUEGRASS DON AN AWESOME FRIEND ...... ________________________________________________________________________________________ MARK BRINKMAN AND CARL JACKSON AWESOME FRIENDS & SONGWRITERS .............. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ...... .......... * .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ ...... .......... * .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ...... ..........
