John Gorka's soulful, rich, baritone voice mirrors his unique songwriting that has been championed by many, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith, Mary Black and Maura O'Connell. His lyrics can be whimsically funny or deliver a powerful image with understated clarity and acute perceptiveness. His albums have been praised by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and many other publications. It's always a pleasure to present John, one of folk's finest songwriter-performers.
      "Listening to John Gorka sing, one can get goosebumps all over. There are many reasons -- fresh lyrics, a stunning emotional baritone voice, his twisted humor -- but to focus on one limits the experience." - New York Times
