About

Gordon Rocker is a Cape Town-based singer, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist delivering polished cover sets and original material for corporate events, private functions, and venues across the Western Cape. His repertoire spans 1950s rock 'n' roll, country music, and contemporary pop. Gordon's primary act features a versatile mix of classic hits and original songwriting. He also performs a separate, prestige Elvis Presley tribute. Please clarify in your request if you are specifically booking the Elvis tribute show. A full-time performer since 2013, Gordon has built a substantial track record in live entertainment. He appeared on SABC3's Expresso Morning Show, secured airplay and interviews on Smile 90.4 FM and Cape Talk, and was the featured live entertainer at the 2022 Austin Butler Elvis Presley movie premiere at Ster Kinekor at the V&A Waterfront. His original compositions are licensed commercially across Europe and the USA, with placements in music games and apps. Beyond live performance, Gordon works as a session vocalist and rhythm guitarist with international recording credits. He brings a rich bass-baritone voice and thoroughly rehearsed sets to every booking, combining classic material with current songs. For event planners seeking a seasoned, established entertainer with genuine industry credentials, Gordon is worth considering. Rates vary based on the nature of the event and the performance duration. Please request a custom quote to get an exact figure for your specific event. For National Fly-In & International Bookings: Kindly note: For international bookings or domestic gigs located outside a 500-kilometer radius of Cape Town, the client is responsible for all travel logistics, including flights, accommodation, and any necessary performance visas. To facilitate travel, the client must also advance a full local PA system and backline (including powered speakers, monitor wedge, mixer, microphone, and a suitable electric guitar), managed by a professional sound engineer. A comprehensive Performance Rider detailing these specific requirements will be attached alongside your quote.
