Art lover Bill Adams was delighted to visit the Kaddatz Galleries to see Charles Beck: Rarities and Masterpieces. The Kaddatz and other Fergus Falls venues have been celebrating “A Year of Beck” throughout 2023, marking what would have been the Minnesota artist's 100th birthday. Charles Beck (1923 – 2017) created woodcuts, paintings, and other artworks that often celebrated the landscape of Ottertail County in west central Minnesota. This is the final show in the series, and it runs through Dec. 23. The pieces in this exhibit include works from private collections that would not otherwise be available, spanning from Becks' college drawings to his final piece. “I would say that Charles Beck's works are quintessential Minnesota pieces,” says Adams, who was thrilled to encounter new works of Beck's at this show. “Yesterday when I was driving home from Fergus, I looked through some bare trees and in the background was a blue sky with white clouds above it, and I thought to myself, ‘Wow, that looks just like a Beck piece.'” Don Fortner has retired as music director from First Presbyterian Church in St. Cloud. Still, he wants everyone to know about the wonderful music series that Granite City Folk Society hosts at the church and at Bo Diddley's Deli every month. Fortner was involved in connecting the Granite City Folk Society with the church as a venue during Covid, and he's delighted to see how the First Fridays concert series continues to grow in popularity. He says the 100-year-old church has excellent acoustics.  Folk artist John Gorka will perform December's First Fridays concert, Dec 1 at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church. Rupert Wates will be at Bo Diddley's on Friday, Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. Find the concert series schedule here.  Oil painter Laura Lindquist of Stillwater says her favorite holiday show each year is “Letters to Santa,” a one-woman show that had her “hooting and hollering” when she first saw it last year. Actor Janelle Ranek transforms into 10 characters, each writing letters to Santa. Sitting in the intimate setting of Bryant Lake Bowl, Lindquist was astounded by Ranek's versatility and humor. Each year's show is different.  This year's version, “Letters to Santa: Shaken, Not Stirred,” runs at Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis from Dec. 2 – 23.

"My Good Friends" The Ohio-born David Wilcox is one of our great treasures. Over the course of his career the singer/songwriter has put out nearly 25 perfect albums, including 1989's How Did You Find Me Here, 1991's Home Again, 2003's Into The Mystery and his brand new one, My Good Friends.Bringing to mind Nick Drake, John Gorka, Milo Binder and Joni Mitchell, Wilcox is one of those rare singer/songwriters whose body of work has no dip in quality. My Good Friends is a perfect example of how Wilcox just keeps crushing it. From the retrospective romp of the title track, to the stirring Just A Trace Of Light to the deeply moving album closer This Is How It Ends, Wilcox has never sounded better. Observational, compelling, and wise, Wilcox's work is always punctuated by an artful blend of delicacy and strength. His resume' is a long one, but some highlights include playing Carnegie Hall, opening for the Indigo Girls, and being on the cover of Acoustic Guitar magazine. www.davidwilcox.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.embersarts.com www.alexgreenonline.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

We'll hear selections from John McCutcheon, John Gorka, Danielle Miraglia, Caroline Spence, Harry Caray and of course, Steve Goodman, and many more. Play Ball! … this week on The Sing Out!

In 2021 I saw that John Gorka, was performing a virtual concert—so I bought tickets, set up a video projector, and watched him in my living room with my wife and my two boys.  It was a moment of light in a dark time.  So, when it came time to put together Restoring Memory: A COVIDCalls exploration of the first 2 COVID years, I took a chance and reached out—and well, he's here! From New Jersey, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania.  Jack Hardy's legendary Fast Folk circle (a breeding ground for many a major singer-songwriter) was a powerful source of education and encouragement early in his career, and he won the New Folk Award in 1984 at Texas' Kerrville Folk Festival. 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 played all over the USA and Europe at hallowed venues like Austin City Limits and Mountain Stage.

Kelli Foster Warder of Theater Latte Da recommends going to see a musical fitting for Valentine's Day. It's Bucket Brigade Theater's “Till Death: A Marriage Musical.” The show tells the story of two married couples stuck together in one cabin. One couple is reevaluating their marriage, while the other appears caught up in that honeymoon glow. The result, Warder said, is “hilarious and insightful and a really great night.” The 10-year-old production's performers are all married couples in real life, including Jeremiah and Vanessa Gamble, who co-wrote the music and lyrics. Warder said she's seen the show several times over the years and gets something new from it each time. The final four shows of the run are Friday through Monday at Art House North in St. Paul. The production is in-person with reduced audience capacity and masks required. St. Paul actress and writer Greta Grosch is an equity actor, but it's community theater that she's excited to share this week: Theatre in the Round stages “Marjorie Prime” starting this weekend. Set in the near-future, 85-year-old Marjorie has a handsome young man in her life. That “man” is a hologram of her late husband, imbued with artificial intelligence so that he can feed Marjorie the stories of her life as she loses her memory. The heartfelt play by Jordan Harrison is full of plot twists that take the audience on a journey. The play was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2015, and it was made into a movie in 2017. Courtesy of Katie Sondrol Actress Katie Wodele (Tess) and actor David Denninger (Jon) rehearse for Marjorie Prime at Theatre in the Round. Grosch said she's thrilled to see Theatre in the Round emerge through the pandemic to celebrate its 70th season this year. “Marjorie Prime” runs Friday through March 6. Masks and proof of vaccination or negative COVID test are required.

Folk singer/songwriter John Gorka's long career has spanned 11 albums and a collector's edition, with performances across the globe. Don't see video? Click here: “John's music just keeps aging beautifully,” said Potter Langley, “and some of the lyrics are, for me, as pertinent now as they were back in the ‘80s when I listened to some of the songs for the first time.” Potter Langley said she's traveled far to hear the iconic singer perform so she feels lucky that she can walk a few blocks to the historic State Theatre in Zumbrota to enjoy this show with friends. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Masks are required in the theater unless eating or drinking. The State Theatre in Zumbrota celebrated its 100th anniversary last October.

COVID-19 has brought the entertainment industry to its knees and artists of all stripes are struggling just like the rest of us but really how are they doing? What is life like now for the working musician? Join our hosts Ellen Quale, Emily Metcalfe and River Scholl as they talk with artist and musician Dulcie Taylor about the trials of creating during a pandemic. Dulcie Taylor learned a hard music lesson at an early age – don’t leave your ukulele unattended in a porch chair at the beach. Some clueless teenager can sit on it and smash it to bits. The demise of her ukulele was a tough moment for ten-year-old Dulcie but that Christmas her Mother bought her a guitar and Taylor’s lifelong love of singing and songwriting began. In hindsight, a grown-up Taylor sees the smashed ukulele as something of a blessing in disguise…after all, she has shared the stage with a long and impressive list of artists, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Asleep at the Wheel, Guy Clark, John Gorka, and Kathy Mattea. - source dulcietaylor.com And some disclaimer stuff: No guarantee is given regarding the accuracy of any statements or opinions made on the podcast or website.

Todo lo bello perece. Sólo el silencio permanece. El silencio de tu discurso, el silencio de tu canción. El silencio de tu ausencia. Estamos celebrando el medio siglo de la publicación de “After The Gold Rush”, el segundo disco en solitario de Neil Young. Recordamos al rockero gaditano An-Tonio y a su productor José Antonio Romero. Reivindicamos al gallego Ale. Desde Nueva Jersey nos canta en silencio John Gorka. Y desde Gotemburgo…. La Banda Sonora de Nuestras Vidas… También seguimos a la jovencita de Sabadell que tanto encandila: Kora. Con paciencia. Desde Austin… Ben Kweller.

Las instalaciones que albergan los históricos Capricorn Sound Studios, en Macon, Georgia, tienen que ver con el sello discográfico, el propio estudio de grabación, un museo, y un espacio de oficinas de la Mercer University. Nadie duda de que es el lugar más apropiado para reencontrar con tus raíces, si estas tienen que ver con el southern rock, como es el caso de BlackBerry Smoke cuyo último proyecto en forma de EP se titula Live From Capricorn Sound Studios. En la selección de sus seis canciones, dos de ellas pertenecen a Idlewild South, el segundo álbum de la Allman Brothers Band, con medio siglo de historia. Son "Midnight Rider" y "Revival", dos temas míticos. En este segundo caso, Charlie Starr y Paul Jackson se han repartido las intervenciones de guitarra de Duane Allman y Dickie Betts, el compositor del tema, y las Black Bettys aportan su poderío vocal en una canción atemporal llena de felicidad. Los tejanos Whiskey Myers se crecieron lo suficiente tras el éxito de su anterior trabajo, Mud, que para su último álbum, con su nombre en el título, decidieron tomar las riendas y prescindir de la producción del casi intocable Dave Cobb. Incluso se repartieron las tareas de composición y contaron también con la ayuda de buenos amigos. Se fueron al Sonic Ranch, cerca de El Paso, en Texas, y se pusieron a trabajar sobre una lista de más de 30 canciones. "Bury My Bones" es una canción que, compuesta por John Jeffers con Tennessee Jet, está inspirada por cómo se sentía a su vuelta de su gira europea del pasado año que pasó por primera vez por España. Ya que hablamos de Tennessee Jet, aquí está la primera muestra sonora de su nuevo álbum, The Country, que aparecerá a primeros de septiembre. Se trata de "Stray Dogs", una pieza narrativa para un artista tejano que está redefiniendo sus ideas sobre la country music desde la perspectiva de la Costa Oeste. Para ello se mudó a California y ahora ha contado con el arrope de la banda de Dwight Yoakam, con el añadido evidente del twang factor a sus propuestas y dejando un tanto de lado sus primitivas influencias de la Outlaw music de Waylon y Willie, e incluso el Bakersfield sound de Merle Haggard. "Stray Dogs" es un tema de tintes autobiográficos que TJ acabó de componer en el propio estudio de grabación y que muestra la tensión y la crudeza de tener que culminar algo inacabado por necesidad. Este tercer álbum del tejano parece haberse convertido en un punto de no retorno con respecto al pasado. Seguimos insistiendo en que el ambiente de Nashville está cambiando y que no todo está perdido. Daniel Donato nació allí hace 25 años y ha aprovechado tan bien el tiempo que se ha convertido en un exquisito instrumentista de su Telecaster que hace un par de años fue nominado por la Americana Music Association en esa categoría. Todavía recuerda que estando en secundaria tocaba en las calles de Lower Broadway ocho horas diarias cada fin de semana y se colaba en el Robert’s Western World para ver a la Don Kelley Band, que le fichó como guitarrista hasta que Paul Cauthen se lo llevó de gira. Con un estilo marinado en todos los clásicos de la country music como Merle Haggard, su favorito, también destila influencias de Grateful Dead en su álbum de debut, como queda perfectamente reflejado en "Luck of the Draw", con trazas de la vieja escuela y algún toque psicodélico. A Young Man's Country, que tiene prevista su salida para el 7 de agosto, fue grabado en el Sound Emporium de Music City con el guitarrista Robben Ford como productor. El incontenible Daniel Romano nos está dejando casi exhaustos en este 2020 con la publicación de hasta seis álbumes… por el momento. Como en el caso de Content to Point the Way, la cuarta de esas entregas, supone una apuesta poderosa por el mejor country rock con evidentes guiños a la herencia atemporal de un mito de la categoría de Gram Parsons, que parece haberle bendecido desde los paisajes de Joshua Tree. El canadiense nativo de Welland, en la provincia de Ontario, grabó este registro con The Outfit, su banda de acompañamiento, como un regreso de tintes sentimentales y decididos al country, consiguiendo una atmósfera llena de melancolía que permite canciones enternecedoras como “Little Shirley Melrose”, gracias a la intervención vocal de Julianna Riolino. Tras el éxito del álbum Desert Dove durante el pasado 2019 que puso en órbita a Michaela Anne, la artista del barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn, aunque con residencia en Nashville, reclama la esperanza y el optimismo como dos piezas clave para seguir adelante y más aún en momentos como el actual en “Good Times”, su más rotunda novedad con el mensaje de que los "buenos tiempos" están a la vuelta de la esquina. De nuevo su buen amigo Sam Outlaw está a su lado, profundizando en ese camino de abarcar fórmulas más amplias que en registros anteriores, aunque no olvida su debilidad por Linda Ronstadt y Emmylou Harris, dos de sus heroínas. En estos momentos de nostalgia seguro que hemos recurrido en varias ocasiones a recuperar algunas grabaciones que tenían un tanto olvidadas. Los artistas de Americana también lo han venido haciendo y encontramos algunos resultados excepcionales. Es el caso de Erin Enderlin, que durante años ha firmado canciones que todo podemos recordar en las voces de Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire o Lee Ann Womack y que ahora ha preferido evocar una canción de 1987 como "Fishin 'In The Dark", que la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band incluyó en su álbum Hold On y que supuso su última visita a la cima de las listas. Para esta nueva versión, Erin Enderlin ha contado con la guitarra de uno de sus miembros fundadores, Jeff Hanna. Tras lanzar dos álbumes y un EP, Enderlin publicó el pasado año Faulkner County, que hace referencia a su tierra natal de Arkansas. La pasada semana recordábamos que Kelsey Waldon está nominada a los premios de la Americana Music Association en la categoría de Artista Emergente del Año. Ella cantó sobre sus orígenes en "Kentucky, 1988", uno de los momentos más personales de su álbum White Noise/White Lines y ahora ha querido regresar a su pueblo de Monkey’s Eyebrow para recordar sus primeros pasos, sus problemas familiares y las dificultades para resolverlas, desnudas y elocuentes. Ese trabajo, publicado en año pasado, supuso que tras 15 años sin hacerlo el sello Oh Boy firmara a un nuevo artista. Todo fue gracias al ahora desaparecido John Prine, que confió en la fortaleza de esta cantante y compositora de tintes rurales que ya había editado dos álbumes de forma independiente en 2014 y 2016. La última canción grabada por John Prine, "I Remember Everything", se ha convertido en directamente en No. 1 de la lista de ventas de canciones digitales de Billboard en el apartado de rock, suponiendo la más alta repercusión popular como intérprete del legendario músico, fallecido en Abril a consecuencia de la Covid-19. El tema, producido por Dave Cobb, fue grabado en la sala de estar de Prine el año pasado y no se había dado a conocer hasta que concluyó el homenaje virtual Picture Show: A Tribute Celebrating John Prine, en el que intervinieron Kacey Musgraves, Vince Gill, Bonnie Raitt, Margo Price, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell y Amanda Shires, entre otros. Gracias a su emisión se ha recaudado recaudado casi medio millón de dólares para NAMI, Alive, Make the Road New York y MusiCares. Ayer se editó Monovision, el nuevo trabajo de Ray LaMontagne, lo que significa un distanciamiento con respecto a sus últimas grabaciones y una vuelta a las formas de los contadores de historias de los 70 recobrando los elementos comunes sobre la disidencia. Hay un cierto encuentro de consuelo y tranquilidad en las cosas simples y en las personas cercanas. Su tema de apertura, "Roll Me Mama Roll Me", es la primera invitación del músico de New Hampshire a recrearnos en una calidez relajante envuelta en pura artesanía sonora que nos permite volver a las raíces. La escucha en la radio de "Treetop Flyer" del álbum Stills Alone de Stephen Stills fue lo que impulsó a Ray LaMontagne a convertirse en cantautor. Lo descubrió un ejecutivo de RCA mientras teloneaba a John Gorka y Jonathan Edwards y sus maquetas, grabadas de nuevo, vieron la luz con el título de Trouble en 2004. Ahí empezó todo. Ayer se editaba el nuevo álbum de Will Hoge Tiny Little Movies, tras una batería de protestas viscerales que dieron forma a American Dream. El artista de Nashville no ha perdido su sentido crítico, ni endulza temas complicados como en el caso de una ruptura desordenada, que es el motivo de "Even the River Runs Out of This Town". Mantiene su crudeza, el tono reflexivo de su voz y nos hace comprender cuando las batallas están perdidas, siempre con algún acento que nos recuerde a Bob Seger, John Mellencamp o Tom Petty, y en ocasiones nos traiga a la memoria a Neil Young y sus Crazy Horse ya que Will Hoge grabó Tiny Little Movies con su banda de acompañamiento en las giras. En septiembre de 2008, Old Crow Medicine Show grababan su tercer álbum de estudio, Tennessee Pusher, con la producción de Don Was. En aquel momento, una canción como “Motel In Memphis” pudo pasar inadvertida ante la importancia que los críticos dieron a temas como "Methamphetamine", pero Ketch Secor ha querido ahora concederle la notoriedad que merece volviendo grabarla y añadiendo un vídeo que hace referencia al Lorraine Motel en el que fue asesinado en 1968 Martin Luther King. Ketch Secor ha vuelto a contar con la formación más habitual del presente de Old Crow Medicine Show, que incluye a Molly Tuttle en la guitarra acústica, Cory Younts a la mandolina, Robert Price con el banjo y Morgan Jahnig como bajista y Jerry Pentecost en la batería. Con ellos nos citamos para mañana en la sintonía de Radio 3. Escuchar audio

First album of our 'I know this but you don't month'

A classically trained musician, James Lee Baker fuses influences from acoustic singer-songwriters like David Mead, Ellis Paul, John Gorka, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bob Dylan, and Slaid Cleaves. He embraces open tunings to create an unconventional but welcoming sound and timbre to his playing. Trained briefly by Richard Gilewitz, a renowned fingerstyle guitar player, James Lee's fingerstyle guitar playing is rich and melodic, pulling listeners into memorable motifs and atmospheres. In 2017, Baker released a Texas-inspired full-length project called “Home Again.” Harnessing his experience in technology, Baker recruited talented studio session musicians, accessing performers from Los Angeles, Canada, The United Kingdom, and Denver. “Home Again” is a Country-flavored Americana album, rich with instrumentation like dobro, lap steel, fiddle, and harmonica. Current single, “Disappear for the Weekend” is receiving airplay and charting on the New Music Weekly and Airplay Today country charts.  The same is also true for his previous single, “Cowtown Blues.” In March 2018, he released an EP of Folk/Americana songs called The Canadian River.

His mother played guitar, his father played drums, his grandmother wrote Gospel music and his grandfather was a concert pianist.  James took the inspiration from his family and began working to play music and create his own musical identity.                       He began participating in open mics in his late teens and created a song catalogue that resulted in his first album being “Saturday” released when he was 18 years old.   His early sound was rock and pop driven but then he started hearing talents like John Gorka and became interested in the singer/songwriters genre.  The real spark came when he heard a song from the soundtrack of “Me, Myself & Irene” called “The World Ain't Slowing Down” by Ellis Paul.    James moved to Denver in 2009 and continued writing and developing his sound.  The ensuing years were filled with hard work, frequent gigging and continuing down the singer/songwriter path.    Having met Ellis Paul and following his music more closely, James decided to study with him and was mentored by Ellis for roughly a year in 2017.   I met James in 2017 at Ellis Paul's New England Songwriters Retreat and he immediately distinguished himself as one of the real special talents attending the event.  At last year's retreat, James started off one of the mornings by playing an amazing song, “The Last Cowboy of Hutchinson County”.  He tells about his grandfather and father with such clear memories that you are drawn in and captivated.   Enjoy this episode as James closes it by playing “The Last Cowboy of Hutchinson County” and “Leave the Saving Souls for Later”.   Find James and his music at www.jamesleebaker.com

I’ll let Elaine tell you about herself:I have been playing guitar since my college days when I soul searched for a guitar maestro. I began my training with classical guitar. Folk music soon came a-calling and I met weekly with an excellent finger-picking teacher, Jerry Lund. I was introduced to singer songwriters Shawn Colvin,John Gorka, Nancy Griffith, Richard Shindell, and Lucy Kaplansky. I love writing music, poetry, and instrumentals. I also experiment with alternative tunings and a mashup of capos to create unusual and airy chords.

Michigan-born songwriter Drew Nelson joins us for a conversation on fly fishing, music and the progression of life. The world traveler has performed internationally with artists like Melissa Etheridge, Edward McCain and John Gorka. Drew’s songwriting ability is amazing and I could go on and on about his musical accomplishments, but after we started talking I realized the interview and Drew was about so much more. Drew brings insights about life. He’s been through some crap and has come out the other side walking with a limp, but still walking. He questions life, religion and societal norms. He doesn’t see black and white, but lives in the gray and living in the gray, I believe, is the catalyst for his artistic excellence. Drew also makes custom furniture in his studio in Ada Michigan and like all of the art he creates, it’s excellent.

Iconic singer-songwriter John Gorka raised the rafters on May 18, 2018 in the Hawthorne Barn with his spirited acoustic guitar playing, insightful lyrics, and wry, witty storytelling. Veteran of countless world tours and collaborations with the likes of Nanci Griffith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Ani DiFranco, Gorka released his fifteenth album, True in Time, in January 2018. We were proud to be a stop on his album release tour, where he performed a solo set of songs that, according to the Huffington Post, “reconnect us with what really matters most in music: honesty.” This concert was part of Twenty Summers' annual month-long arts festival.

JOHN GORKA is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. After 14 critically acclaimed albums, countless national and international tours, and collaborations with the likes of Nanci Griffith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ani DiFranco, Lucy Kaplansky, Patty Larkin, and many more, Gorka is now releasing ‘True in Time', a 12 song collection he put together with long time producer, Rob Genadek on Red House Records. THE WAR AND TREATY are the husband & wife duo of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount. The band's blend of roots music, bluegrass, folk, gospel and soul boasts a sound that's both stirring and sensual, driven by joy, determination and an unceasing upward gaze. It's music inspired by darkness and despair that ultimately finds a higher spiritual purpose. It's manifested on the group's latest EP, ‘Down to the River'.

John Gorka is one of folk music's most respected and beloved singer/songwriters, representing the bridge generation between the Folk Revival and the rise of Americana.

Folk Alley caught up with John at the 2017 30A Songwriters Festival for an exclusive Folk Alley Session.

From New Jersey, folk legend John Gorka got his start living in a music club’s basement and acting as resident MC and sound man.

Soon he started traveling to New York City and folk meccas like Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston where his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads. In 1987, the Minnesota-based Red House Records caught wind of John’s talents and released his first album. He moved to Windham Hill/High Street before returning to his musical roots at Red House.Over the years of his rich career, Gorka has established himself as one of folk music’s most respected and beloved singer/songwriters, representing the bridge generation between the Folk Revival and the rise of Americana.

"The preeminent male singer-songwriter of what has been dubbed the New Folk Movement" - Rolling Stone

Nominated for a 2014 New England Music Award, Kate Callahan, Connecticut's “Best Singer-Songwriter 2013” has three albums including her recent release Two Doors, which was featured on WNPR's Where We Live.  Callahan's music feels soulful and she's unapologetically optimistic in concert. WNPR host Colin McEnroe praised a recent performance, saying, “Kate Callahan is the only performer I've ever seen who occasionally seems to be channeling something vaster and far more ancient than herself, something more easily understood by Emerson than by any modern person. Kate's credits include appearances at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artists Showcase, the New Haven Festival of Arts and Ideas, and the CT Folk Festival. She has opened shows for folk legends Judy Collins and Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul, and Mary), troubadours Aztec Two-Step, John Gorka, Mustard's Retreat, and the late Bill Morrissey. She has also shared stages with folk-rock artists Rachael Sage and Regina Spektor. Stookey calls Callahan "real" and says her lyrics are "Zen-like." Kate joins Take 2 Radio Music for a chat and music on Wednesday, September 3rd at 3pm eastern!

The new music just keeps on rolling in, and we’ve got plenty of wonderful releases to go through today. Yesterday was International Women’s Day, and while we never need a reason to play a bunch of our favourite female artists, it seems especially important to do it today.

JOHN GORKA AND ELIZA GILKYSON are considered two of the best contemporary Singer/songwriters touring today. These longtime friends recently teamed up with Lucy Kaplansky to form the super folk group Red Horse. The trio's self titled debut CD was released last year and it became an instant folk classic and a big hit with fans. JOHN GORKA is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who was raised in New Jersey and came out of New York City's Greenwich Village folk scene that produced such songwriters as Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin. His award-winning songs have been recorded and performed by such notable artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith and Mary Black. John has recorded eleven solo albums, six on Red House Records. His latest is So Dark You See. ELIZA GILKYSON is a politically minded, poetically gifted singer-songwriter, who has become one of the most respected musicians in roots, folk and Americana circles. The Grammy-nominated artist was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2006, she was recognized with 3 Austin Music Awards and 4 Folk Alliance Music Awards, one of which was for "Song of the Year" for her tune "Man of God." Her latest solo CD is Roses at the End of Time on Red House Records. BLITZ THE AMBASSADOR may seem like an unusual booking for WoodSongs at first glance. The Ghanaian-born, New York-based composer, and producer unleashes psychedelic Afrobeat colors and triple-time rhymes with a lightning-fast mind, the political boldness of Chuck D, and the sixth groove sense of Fela Kuti. All set to swirls of brass, distorted guitars, and the crackle and pop of old amplifiers. However, for his WoodSongs performance, Blitz will be performing a more intimate, stripped down set. Check out his video for "Remembering The Future" to see this talented artist in action as Michael welcomes the show's first hip hop artist and explores the genre's connection to folk music.

So, it took a while but now we're back with thirteen songs that will blow you away: Travis Wammack, Rosie Flores and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, Tom Petty, Kieran Kane, John Gorka, Swampwater, Greyhound Soul, Kate Mann, Drag the River, Builders & Butchers, Ox, El Pino & the Volunteers and Dave Rawlings Machine
