From New Jersey, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. Though small, Godfrey Daniels was and is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions and has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians. In the late 1970’s, John was one of these aspiring musicians. 

 

He 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. Folk meccas like Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston followed, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads. Those who had at one time inspired him – Suzanne Vega, Bill Morrissey, Nanci Griffith, Christine Lavin, Shawn Colvin – had become his peers.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a band with a more impressive collective resume than Cimarron 615.

 

The quartet — just releasing its second, self-titled album — is a hall of fame-caliber assemblage, with credits that look like a who’s-who of Americana, country and rock history. “We’ve all been around a long time and done a lot of work — and a lot of it together,” notes drummer Rick Lonow. “There’s history here.”

 

Where the four musicians intersect is via the famed country-rock band Poco. Lonow and Jack Sundrud were its longtime rhythm section until the band ceased when co-founder Rusty Young died in 2021. Michael Webb played in the band for eight years, while Ronnie Guilbeau co-wrote Poco’s 1989 Top 20 single “Call It Love” with Lonow. Webb and Sundrud co-produced Poco’s All Fired Up album in 2013, and Lonow, Webb and Sundrud played on Young’s 2017 solo album, Waitin’ For the Sun.

An Evening of Song & Stories

​

We are proud to welcome the multi-instrumentalist John McEuen to the Lizzie Rose Music Room. John was a member of the legendary Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for over 20 years and has rejoined them for several reunions and special music projects. In 1971 he was the catalyst that brought together the greatest musicians from country and bluegrass together to join the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to produce the iconic and award-winning three LP set called "Will The Circle Be Unbroken". This LP has been heralded as " one of the most important records to ever come out of Nashville"... as written by Rolling Stone columnist Chet Flippo.

 

John has seven solo LPs to his credit, along with movie soundtrack scores, appearances and session work on 46 LPs with various artists and the little-known fact that he gave banjo lessons to comedian Steve Martin and played on Martin's hit novelty song "King Tut". John was inducted into the Traditional Country Music Hall Of Honor in 2009 and into the Bluegrass Hall Of Fame in 2017. His storied career continues on, and we are overjoyed to have him grace our stage.

"Bathed in the flickering glow of passing headlights and neon bar signs, Smither's roots are as bluesy as they come. There is plenty of misty Louisiana and Lightnin' Hopkins in Smither's weathered singing and unhurried picking. So fine!"

Rolling Stone Magazine

 

Having distilled his own signature sound of blues and folk for over 50 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. A profound songwriter, Chris continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. From his early days as the New Orleans transplant in the Boston folk scene, through his wilderness years, to his reemergence in the 1990's as one of America's most distinctive acoustic performers, Chris Smither continues to hone his distinctive sound. He may be best known for writing "Love You LIke a Man '' recorded by both Bonnie Raitt and Diana Krall and his music has been featured in numerous films, commercials and covered by many other artists.
