LEGENDARY SINGER-SONGWRITER JOHN GORKA RETURNS TO SGCH!

Since winning the Kerrville new folk competition in 1984, John Gorka has staked his claim to being, in the words of Rolling Stone, "the preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk movement."  Since then, in addition to 11 critically-acclaimed albums, John has released a collector’s edition box featuring a hi-definition DVD and companion CD called The Gypsy Life.

In addition, many well-known artists have recorded and/or performed John Gorka songs, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith, Mary Black and Maura O’Connell. John has graced the stage of Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, etown and has appeared on CNN. His new song “Where No Monuments Stand” is featured in the upcoming documentary Every War Has Two Losers, about activist and Oregon Poet Laureate William Stafford (1914-1993).  Don’t miss his return to the Shady Grove Coffeehouse!
