Mimi Farina has opened for him on the west coast, not recently of course though.

I don't see anyway N. Jones or any other big star would open for Gord these days. For one the concerts don't draw a big enough crowd to support someone like Jones and second, that would be like U2 opening for Grand Funk Railroad. Of course Gord is much better in my opinion but it's a business and it wouldn't make sense. I think that any opening act would have to be some club band or some local singer/songwriter that is looking for a break or recognition.
