Having spent over half of his life dedicated to inhabiting the craft of good songwriting, Jordan Allen is an artist who knows the stitching it takes to make a well-tailored song. From his time spent on the Bluebird Café’s Writer’s Night roster from 2017 to 2020, to the years spent as the frontman for Jordan Allen & The Bellwethers from 2013 to 2024 where he toured regularly across 10 states and released 5 studio albums, Allen has put in the time it takes to craft stories—whether his own or inhabiting someone else’s—in a way that weaves together melodic hooks with the raw materials of life.
The melodic stories that Allen crafts don’t stop at their release date, but have caught the attention of a wide audience and in 2016, during Allen’s tenure fronting The Bellwethers, their song “The Wanderer” took home the overall winner at The Richard Leigh Songwriters Festival song contest. Not only that, Allen also made his national television debut on Season 27 of The Voice, where he worked with John Legend as his coach.
With influences ranging from The Beatles to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Don Williams, Jordan Allen marries the grit of the Appalachian Mountains with the sweet honey of soulful southern songwriting.
