Project By
Gordon Withers
Alexandria, VA
Send MessageGordon Withers is a rock cellist living and performing in the DC area. He studied classical cello at Brandeis University under Rhonda Rider. From 1997-2000 he played with the Boston band Betwixt. In 2007 he recorded Jawbox on Cello: A Benefit For Cal Robbins, an album of 12 Jawbox songs arranged for cello ensemble. All proceeds go to benefit the Cal Robbins Care Fund (Cal is the son of Jawbox singer J Robbins, and has Spinal Muscular Atrophy).
In June 2009, Gordon recorded a new solo rock cello album, which is 1/2 originals and 1/2 covers. He hopes to release it in late fall 2009.
Gordon Withers says: Paul - Bad Religion would be an awesome choice. Their songs are so short, you might qualify for two! Also, why would you ever want to hear another Nickleback song, in any version? (Related: aren't they all just the same song?)
To me, the "cruel route" would be Dream Theater. Also, I'd veto it outright.
Paul Roub says: So torn on the cello-ized song choices. Go the cruel route? ("Heartbeat, It's a Love Beat", Nickleback)... Or the awesome route? I'm thinking Bad Religion's "Generator" would be fairly amazing. Or be all self-indulgent and choose one of my own...
