With his band The Violent Femmes, Gordon Gano helped define post-punk's nerdy cool face of the 1980s and 1990s while also crafting himself into one of modern rock's finest singer/songwriters. Gordon James Gano was born to a Baptist minister father and a musical mother on June 6, 1963. He was one of eight children and spent his early childhood singing with his family. An appreciation for the likes of Johnny Cash, The Carter Family, Robert Johnson and Hank Williams sparked Gano's musical interests
