John Gorka at the Homegrown Coffeehouse

John Gorka is an honored icon of folk tradition. Energetic acoustic music that is not a trend, not a fad, but an expression of everyday life, is his trademark. Johns rich baritone voice and unique songcraft weave a magical spell that can only be described as Gorka. Rolling Stone called him the preeminent male singer/songwriter of the new folk movement. His rich multi-faceted songs full of depth, beauty and emotion have won him both critical acclaim and a devoted following across the country. European tours have taken him to Italy, Belgium, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Switzerland and Germany. His music has been recorded and/or performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith, Mary Black and Maura OConnell. And over the years, Homegrown Coffeehouse audiences have flat-out adored him.
