Junior Gordon - Lead Vocals/Guitar

Junior Gordon was born on July 1st, 1973 in Houston Texas.  His parents and friends were first to notice his vocal talents and at the age of 15, he took a very strong interest in singing.  His parents started signing him up for talent contests and music showcases. Knowing he was not old enough to pursue his singing career in night clubs and dance halls, his parents agreed to take him to see some of his all time idols, George Straight, Mickey Gilley, Gene Watson and Ronnie Millsap, to name a few.  Once he had the feel for the music industry he was ready to try it on his own.  So Junior started singing in more contests ands showcases, doing so well and meeting so many people.  He decided to put his first band together.  Like most first bands, it lasted a short time and did not make it to the peak that he so wanted.  But it was profitable for Junior; the phone calls were coming in from bands looking for a lead vocalist and night clubs wanting to book him.  Sitting down with his best friend, Ronnie Baggett, he learned how to play the acoustic guitar.  Junior took a position in a band called Showndown in 1998 as the lead vocalist and started his climb.  He has been to Nashville and has performed in every legendary land mark with Country Music, ranging from the Country Music hall of Fame, CMT, Tootsies and most every club in publishers alley.  He found his home with Southern Justice in April of 2007 and enjoys every minute of his small success story and his band members and friends. He currently lives in Liverpool, TX with his wife, Cheramy, and his five wonderful children Cody, Brenden, Michael, Meredith and Megan.  Junior shares a love for his children and family that is very strong.  He works and plays very hard and shares the thought that life is very short and you should live it to the best that it can be lived.
