Jordan Hudson was the original drummer in Portland, Oregon based rock trio The Thermals. They started in 2002.



After the departure of Jordan Hudson in late 2005, bassist Kathy Foster double dutied on percussion too, until The Thermals recruited local drummer extraordinaire, Caitlin Love.



Jordan Hudson grew up in Florida, but moved to San Francisco, where Hudson and guitarist Zak Riles co-founded the group Operacycle. The band only played one show before they moved to Portland in 1999. Since then, they've released one LP on Hush Records, and appeared on various self-titled and split EPs.



He also led a series of weekly improvisation nights in Blackbir in his new hometown Portland.
