Recorded in Cape Breton, Halifax and Nashville, For The Few And Far Between is a collection of stories told, of textures woven, and emotions moved. Contributors included some of Nashville hottest players along with members of Symphony Nova Scotia. Songs on For The Few And Far Between were co-written with Canadian songwriters (Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson, Cape Breton’s Steve MacDougall and Jay Smith) and with award winning Nashville writers.

Marrying a clear love for pop music with a true talent for story telling, Gordie is at his best with songs like “Davey Jones,” where he delves into his own family history to tell of the men who risk life and limb to eke out a living on the high seas, or “Bob Evans,” about the husband and father who cries alone for the love of another man.

Produced by Gordie Sampson
Recorded by Jeff Balding
