Gordi

Gordi plays The Jam Jar on Wednesday 14 October, a solo show with Ruby Gill on support. It's a small, stripped-back night, and the set will draw from a career that's built on sparse, precise songwriting.

There's a new record to work from: the 2026 EP Nylon hit the charts before it was even released. Gordi recorded it live-to-tape in a single afternoon, with no overdubs or edits, and played the new songs to fans on her Australian tour, selling every advance copy before the internet knew. It follows her debut and sophomore albums Reservoir and Our Two Skins, both released on Jagjaguwar in 2017 and 2020. Her third album, Like Plasticine, drew on her experience working as a medical doctor during the pandemic, earned an ARIA nomination, and landed placements on NPR All Songs Considered, BBC 6 Music and Sirius XMU. That record also saw her name on billboards in Times Square and live performances on CBS Saturday Morning and The Kelly Clarkson Show.

She's shared stages with Bon Iver, The National and Sam Smith, and collaborated with Troye Sivan and Julien Baker. This is a solo date, so it's a different scale from those larger rooms. Ruby Gill opens the night, and Gordi takes it from there. Doors are at 19:00 at The Jam Jar, Unit 4a The Old Malt House, Little Ann St, Bristol BS2 9EB. Tickets are £17.60 including fees, with a £16.00 face value.
