John Gorka's name is synonymous with modern folk music. Fans, musicians and critics alike rave about his clever lyrics, simple melodies and baritone delivery. Rolling Stone Magazine dubbed him "the preeminent male singer/songwriter of the new folk movement." But he doesn't let it go to his head. He'll join us in the studio to play a few songs and talk about his work and the buzz around it.
