John Gorka is one of America’s preeminent singer-songwriters. Rolling Stone called him “…the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement” that emerged in the early 1990s. Inspired early on by legendary folk troubadours like Stan Rogers, Eric Andersen, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt, John began performing his own songs, and traveled to New York City, where Jack Hardy’s legendary Fast Folk circle (a breeding ground for many a major singer-songwriter) became a powerful source of education and encouragement.In addition to his 11 critically acclaimed albums, John released a collector’s edition box featuring a hi-definition DVD and companion CD called “The Gypsy Life.” Windham Hill also released a collection of John’s greatest hits from the label called “Pure John Gorka.” In 2010, he also released an album with his friends and Red House label-mates Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson under the name Red Horse. Getting high praise from critics and fans alike, it landed on the Billboard Folk Charts and was one of the most played albums on folk radio.
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.
