We will be very happy to have popular Red House Records recording artist  JOHN GORKA back after a few year absence preceded by a many year absence. In other words, he doesn’t come often so grab the chance.

Gorka’s most beloved songs are an enticing mixture guaranteed to make you laugh or cry. The former include “I’m From New Jersey” and “People My Age,” the first line of which pretty much says it all: “People my age have started looking gross.” He also hears frequent requests for such poignant antiwar ballads as “Let Them In” and “Temporary Road” and for a longtime favorite, “I Saw a Stranger With Your Hair”.

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. His new song “Where No Monuments Stand” is featured in the upcoming documentary Every War Has Two Losers, about activist and Oregon Poet Laureate William Stafford (1914-1993).
