Two leading lights of the East Coast new folk movement take the stage for a rousing evening of enlightening songcraft!

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, John Gorka is one of folk music’s most distinctive singers. If his stunningly soulful baritone isn’t raising goosebumps, his spot-on lyrics are likely to do the job as he parlays rich, multi-faceted songs full of depth, beauty, and emotion. Whether it’s an open-hearted tune brimming with love and loss, a sharp daily-life vignette, biting social or political commentary, or just plain old down-home humor, John always displays an unerring grasp of words, melody, and the details that pose profoundly personal, yet universal themes.

The imagery and emotion of New Yorker Lucy Kaplansky’s original lyrics combine with the power and texture of her sumptuous voice to create an illuminating evening of songs that work their way deep into the heart. Fusing alternative country, roots rock, and folk music with rare style and intelligence—not to mention a truly charming stage presence—Lucy presents her thoughtful songs about the human condition with warmth and power.
