John Gorka

Saturday,

March 27

 

Bringing John Gorka to the Blue Moon Coffeehouse is both a pleasure and a privilege! A singer-songwriter famed for his rich, expressive baritone, New Jersey native John Gorka was one of the leading lights of the New Folk movement. John is an intelligent songwriter with a rich palate of styles. He tends to keep his songs simple and to make observations that are characterized by subtlety rather than polemic outrage. He sings about clever, slice of life situations and creates snapshot stories grounded in both poetry and reality. John's solid reputation rests on the great warmth of his mellow voice and live performances. There's an attractive intimacy not only in the small moments of which he sings, but also in the sincere way in which he presents them. His music is 'hummable' acoustic pop, but his favorite themes reflect the troubadour's heart--freedom, faith, the environment and social justice. John is touring in support of his latest Red House Records recording, Old Futures Gone. John Gorka's web site is located at: www.johngorka.com
