Gordon weatherford
Bass player and instructor
About
Hi, I’m Gordon — a bass player, songwriter, audio engineer, and music educator based in Charleston, SC. I grew up in Florence, SC and started playing the bass at 13 in my church, which kicked off a lifelong love for music.Over the years, I’ve been lucky to play with a wide mix of artists across the country and abroad, from festival stages to private events. These days, I play and travel regularly with acts like The Sunday Drivers (with Grayson Little), Todd Carey, David Higgins, and Lauren Hall.I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Audio Production from Full Sail University and have worked as a Production Director, handling everything from live sound to stage management.Outside of performing, I love teaching bass and guitar to students of all ages. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, I try to make learning music fun, focused, and encouraging.Thanks for stopping by — feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a bassist, a teacher, or just want to connect.
