Etobicoke’s Premiere hard rock hot spot The Rock Pile, held another magical musical event on Oct. 19th

Dedicated Esther Widmann fans filled the Rockpile, coming from as far away as Alberta,  to catch her headlining performance.

This showcase was filled with non stop creativity & a little something for the entire family.

Kicking off the stellar production by Sean Patrick Armstrong of Ghost In The Machine, was non other than Toronto’s own singer, song-writer, Vincent VL Effects & Mack Amps Guitar Amplifier Endorsee Josh Gordon.Josh brought an incredibly deep and rich experience to the stage with a hint of heavy rock infused blues featuring his snazzy jazzy drumming extraordinaire Chris Chiarelli and special guest bassist, Pop Cherry’s sexy Dave Bachelor.  Josh Gordon’s high voltage lit the stage a blaze with cover after cover of his musical influences like Stevie Ray Vaughn’s ‘Pride and Joy’ into ZZ Top’s ‘Cheap Sunglasses’ right into Jeff Healey’s ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps.’  High octane fuel kicked in as they perfected ‘Cocaine’ by Eric Clapton & ‘Crossroads’ by Stevie Ray Vaughn.
