GORDY PRATT
Gordy Pratt in CONCERT: Mesmerizing Spanish guitar playing, hysterically funny comedy and
original songs and old favorites; From Rogaine to Road Kill, from the pitfalls of parenting to the
process of aging gracefully (or not), from the birth of a baby to the demise of the 8-track tape, Gordy's
family friendly baby boomer humor is guaranteed to make you laugh, make you cry ... make you
laugh so hard you cry. Gordy's other offerings include SETH BULLOCK: The spirit of the West, a one
man show about the first sheriff of Deadwood; stand-up musical comedy show THE ORIGINAL
FABULOUS ONE GUY and ONE GUY CHRISTMAS.
A veteran entertainer, extraordinary guitarist, comedy writer and published songwriter, Gordy has
performed his stand-up musical comedy show for hundreds of corporations, associations and other
organizations, large and small. Gordy also does a full-length concert, performed throughout the
United States. He has appeared on ABC's Good Morning America and opened for Kenny Chesney,
the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Beach Boys and many more.
Called the "Victor Borge of the Guitar," Gordy's unique performance style brings laughter to music
and music to laughter. Gordy mesmerizes audiences as he plays Bach and Bluegrass in the same
breath, Mozart on "12 cups of good, strong cowboy coffee," and a foot-stomping turn of "Classical
Gas."
In Gordy's character-driven comedy, you'll meet Orville T. Saddlesore, "a chewed up old cowboy" who
offers up Words of Western Wisdom; Joe California, a cool dude struggling to survive his first winter;
Joe Prosciutto, a New Yorker suffering culture shock; and, of course, Gordy, a character in his own
right.
