On your radio August 30—John Gorka
Originally broadcast 9/8/2013
“…the preeminent male singer-songwriter of what has been dubbed the New Folk Movement.” — Rolling Stone
We often talk about our performers as having opened for John Gorka, or recorded with John, or compared to John, but it’s been over twenty years since we’ve been able to tell you about this prolific songwriter and performer himself. Now a world-renowned singer-songwriter, John Gorka got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania in the late ’70s, following in the footsteps of such folk-inspired acoustic musicians as Stan Rogers, Eric Andersen, Tom Paxton, and Claudia Schmidt.
John moved on to New York City and Jack Hardy’s legendary Fast Folk circle. Folk meccas like the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston followed, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads.
After several successful years at High Street Records, John returned to his roots at Red House Records. His most recent recording, “Red Horse,” is a collaboration with Eliza Gilkyson and Lucy Kaplansky. We can’t wait to see him and hear what he’s been up to.
