Songwriter/Singer, Archie Jordan will be in concert at __(place),____(date, day)___, at ___(time)___. There is no admission charge, and the public is invited to attend.

The two-time Grammy nominee will share his testimony and talent through word and song, as he narrates the story of the triumphs and struggles of his life. Also noted for his humorous side, the multi-talented vocalist and musician will play the piano and guitar, and sing some of the many popular songs he has written.

He is the composer of eight number-one hit songs, which include What A Difference You’ve Made In My Life, It Was Almost Like A Song, and Let’s Take The Long Way Around The World. More than 100 artists have recorded his music, including Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Kenny Rogers, Anne Murray, Amy Grant, Larnelle Harris, Shirley Caesar, Steven Curtis Chapman, and the Tams. He produced B.J. Thomas’ two Grammy award-winning Gospel albums. He is the recipient of seven gold albums and three platinum albums, as well as 15 ASCAP awards. But more important than all the accolades, Archie is a Christian. The "valleys" in his life have taught him that all his success is a gift from God.

After many years in Nashville, he now divides his time between writing songs from his studio located on the old family farm in Perkins, Ga., and performing concerts.

Archie’s concerts are best described by the song title of one of his biggest hits, What A Difference He’ll Make In Your Life.
