John Gorka
John Gorka, a key figure in the modern folk music revival, played Sunday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. at The Ark in Ann Arbor. His distinctive baritone and heartfelt songwriting made for a memorable night.
John Gorka won the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk award in 1984, marking a new era in folk music. Originally from New Jersey but shaped in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene, he developed a unique, introspective style. Known for his shy, wry, and sensitive songwriting, his set included both classic songs and new material that showed the vitality of folk music. The show took place at the renowned The Ark venue in Ann Arbor, with tickets priced at $25.
