Call or email with any questions: [email protected], 908/229-1214 Jonathan Edwards Warm as summer sunshine, real as the truth, intimate as a long over- due visit between old friends; such is a Jonathan Edwards concert. Four decades into a stellar career of uncompromising musical integrity, the man simply delivers, night after night—songs of passion, songs of insight, songs of humor—all rendered in that pure and powerful tenor which, like fine wine, has only grown sweeter with age. Jonathan brings with him a highly respected repertoire that includes such classics as Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy, Sometimes, One Day Closer, Athens County, and everyone’s favorite ode to putting a good buzz on, Shanty. And then, of course, there’s the anthemic Sunshine (Go Away Today), that fierce proclamation of protest and independence that resonated with a frustrated and determined populace when it was first released in 1971. More than 40 years later, at show after show, the song continues to be embraced by faithful followers and new fans alike. Lucy Kaplansky As both a solo artist and in collaboration with everyone from Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin to Richard Shindell and John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky has been at the forefront of the contemporary folk music scene for the last two decades. Her songs are about living, breathing people. They’re about life itself, in all its awkward, emotional, and difficult glory. There’s poetry in there, but not at the cost of the stories themselves. Attendees of The Folk Project Weekend Getaways can consider this an appetizer, as we've been given permission to announce that Lucy will be headlining this Spring!

  • John Gorka Interview

    John Gorka Interview

    A Conversation with John Gorka Frank Goodman (Puremusic 3/2001) John Gorka’s career as a singer songwriter appears charmed, filled with good breaks and good luck. It brings to mind what a friend of mine says: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” Anyone who knows John Gorka will tell you that he’s been after it relentlessly since the mid-80s, and has clearly risen to the top of the field. After cutting his teeth at a great listening room in eastern PA called Godfrey Daniels and becoming a regular in Jack Hardy’s Fast Folk crowd in NYC, he got off to a flying start when Red House Records and Fleming Tamulevitch & Associates booking picked him up simultaneously in 1987. FTA are the agents that veritably control the folk world, and Red House one of the most distinguished and coveted labels. John plays up to 150 shows a year at every venue that books singer songwriters, and has earned a fan base that will probably sustain his career the rest of his natural life, along with the new believers each year brings. After two records with Red House, John made five with Windham Hill’s High Street Records, all to critical acclaim. In search of a more art, less commerce approach to his music, Gorka’s happily back with his original label on the last two records. His latest pearl is called The Company You Keep. The most important company he’s keeping these days are his wife and two kids outside of St. Paul, MN, and I hear them featured in spirit throughout.

    Dar Williams Has Always Followed Her Muse. When She Was up in Somerville, Massachusetts in the Early Nineties, Knowing That

    Dar Williams has always followed her muse. When she was up in Somerville, Massachusetts in the early nineties, knowing that she wanted to pursue music or theater, she worked backstage at the Opera Company of Boston and wrote plays on the side. But she was in Boston, and the muse led her into the myriad open mics and tip jar gigs of booming folk revival. She opened a trunk of old songs and started writing new ones. She went to three or four open mics or song circles a week and recorded two cassettes. Yes, cassettes. When she felt like the noise of Boston was getting to be too much, the muse led her to the cornfields and college towns of Western Massachusetts where she sat on her futon and wrote the songs that would become The Honesty Room, her first CD, which she recorded in the basements and back woods studios of Amherst. She hoped the songs she was writing, with titles like When I Was a Boy, You’re Aging Well, and The Great Unknown, would lead her into an idiosyncratic part-time music career. Little did she know that the coffeehouse scene and the beginnings of internet communities were building to a crescendo and eager to receive her warm, witty songs. By the end of 1994, when The Honesty Room came out, she had rock-solid management, the best booking agency in the country for singer-songwriters, and a career-making slot at the Newport Folk Festival. She also signed with Razor & Tie records and penned the material for her next album, Mortal City.

    June 2014 Calling All FP Musicians and Singers Cultural Exchange Request

    June 2014 www.folkproject org Calling All FP Musicians and Singers (Although my friend, Jenny would bridle at considering that singers not be included within the category of musicians.) Be part of the Minstrel's 39th Birthday show! This has been an ongoing tradition at the Minstrel since the early 80's. It's a chance to perform on the Minstrel stage to a crowd of fellow Projectiles. it's a chance to meet and play with new musicians. And it's a chance to celebrate the core value of the Folk Project that it is an organization in large part of and for players and singers. For those of you new to the Project this year, the basic premise is that we form about 20 musical duos and trios comprised of randomly chosen member-musicians. And then, each group does one song in the show. Groups may add additional member musicians to their ensemble. (Which is especially useful when two non-instrumental singers are paired up.) The groups are chosen on July 4 at our Annual Picnic. And the show will take place at the Minstrel on Friday, July 25, which this year is the actual anniversary of our opening night. You don't have to be a professional musician to be part of this show. If you're comfortable playing or singing in front of friends, then that' exactly what you will be doing. The pairings are completely random. You may be matched with someone more experienced or less experienced than you. For the "pros" this can be the opportunity to support a less experienced musician and help them have a memorable experience.

  • JOHN GORKA - Biography

    JOHN GORKA - Biography

    JOHN GORKA - Biography Godfrey Daniels is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions in eastern Pennsylvania. A small neighborhood coffeehouse and listening room, it has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians, and, in the late 1970s, one of these was a young Moravian College student named John Gorka. Though his academic course work lay in Philosophy and History, music began to offer paramount enticements. Soon he found himself living in the club’s basement and acting as resident M.C. and soundman, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer/songwriter Stan Rogers, Eric Andersen, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt. Their brand of folk-inspired acoustic music inspired him, and before long he was performing his own songs - mostly as an opener for visiting acts. Soon he started traveling 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 emerging 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. In 1987, the young Minnesota-based Red House Records caught wind of John’s talents and released his first album, I Know, to popular and critical acclaim. With unusual drive and focus, John hit the ground running and, when an offer came from Windham Hill’s Will Ackerman in 1989, he signed with that label’s imprint, High Street Records.
