Rock cellist.
In 2007, Gordon recorded an album of cello versions of Jawbox songs, as a benefit for Jawbox's founder J. Robbins's son, Cal, who has Type I SMA. Read more about Cal here: http://www.desotorecords.com/cal/
Most of the songs in this page are from that album.
Former bands:
Betwixt (1997-2000): http://www.myspace.com/betwixtmusic
Centralia (2001-2003): no web site, guess you had to be there
Jawbox Cello Quartet (2007-2008): Cello quartet who played the Jawbox cello arrangements live
Currently:

Rock band to be named later (in which Gordon will likely play both guitar and cello)
