About



In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered together folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic "On A Winter's Night" CD, followed by several years of touring collaborations. The winter season is again celebrated by four of the brightest stars of the singer songwriter movement, back together by popular demand. 
 
John Gorka may be the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90s folk scene. He served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem, PA, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings, "I Know." Patty Larkin redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. "Bird in a Cage," her 14th CD, puts poems from ten notable poets to song for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the magic of lyricism. Cliff Eberhardt is one of the most original songsmiths currently on tour. Eberhardt’s penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening, the Philadelphia-born singer's gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Lucy Kaplansky has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh, whether singing her own sweet originals, covering country classics, or singing pop favorites. Her iconic voice has been featured in film and on television. She has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers, Lucy has sung on countless records, performing with Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin. ...
