Dale J. Gordon is an alternative folk artist from West Virginia that now lives in Nashville. We listened to his new album “It Doesn’t Light” and were automatically excited to interview him. Much of Dale’s music feels like it would be home in a film like “Juno.”

One of the things we see at Born & Bred is a resistance from bands to being on multiple platforms. There seems to be a thought that only older demographics use one or the other, which is not anywhere close to accurate. We’ve made a chart showing who is using what and where people are. Plus, we have included some reasons to be using both.
