On Monday the world lost a beloved person in Leslie Jordan!  While Leslie was best known as an actor most people didn’t know The Gospel Side Of Leslie Jordan.

Instagram Famous

It was on Instagram during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 that Leslie and his friend of many years and country music writer Travis Howard started recording Sunday Morning Hymns.  It’s where he and Travis would just get together and record their favorite old-time church songs.  Leslie as well as Travis both grew up in the church singing in the choir as most of us did but never really thought he would do anything in the music business because he hated his voice.

Gospel Album

Then comes The Gospel Side Of Leslie Jordan.  In 2021 Leslie was able to release the very first Gospel project of his favorite Hymns and songs with some very famous people!  The project was called, “Company’s Comin'”
