Music News Digest: Canadian Hit-Maker Marc Jordan Gets a Biography, Winter Fests Announce Lineups

Also this week: Applications for the 2026 Women in the Studio National Accelerator open, Hugh's Room announces a new accessibility fund and more.

Marc Jordan has led a fascinating career. The veteran Brooklyn-born, Toronto-based hitmaker is the subject of a new biography. Named after one of Jordan's songs (a hit for Rod Stewart), Rhythm of My Heart: The Authorized Biography of Marc Jordan is written by fellow Canadian author, songwriter and bandleader Don Breithaupt (Monkey House), and is already earning positive reviews. The book is now available through Amazon and Indigo and bookstores. Jordan's songs have sold over 35 million units, via versions by such artists as Bonnie Raitt, Diana Ross, Joe Cocker, Cher, Bette Midler, Natalie Cole, Chicago, Kenny Loggins, Kim Carnes, Shawn Colvin, Rod Stewart and many more, and he has also made a number of solo albums.
