Jordan released his first album in the spring of 2021, a collection of gospel songs titled, Company’s Comin’. As he told Rolling Stone at the time, the songs were largely ones he remembered from his Southern Baptist youth, though he aimed to approach them without any bitterness.

“To be able to come back to these hymns with no axe to grind, I’ve taken care of all that,” he said. “I’m 22 years clean and sober, so you do a lot of work in A.A. about anger and resentment and all of that. You just come to realize, everybody back then was doing the best they could with the light they had to see with.”

Jordan died Oct. 24, following a car crash in Los Angeles. He was 67. The Reportin’ for Duty house band will include musicians who performed on Jordan’s debut album.

Tickets for the tribute show will go on sale Friday, Jan. 13, at 10 a.m. CT. Pre-sale tickets will be available Jan. 12 at 10 a.m. CT.
