John Gorka
2900 Highland Avenue (Sweetwater High School), National City, 92105
Rising from a milieu of lovelorn singer-songwriters, John Gorka illuminates with his trademark word play, twisting, turning and tying words and phrases in the way a balloon artist creates complex creatures from simple balloons. Over the years, other performers have discovered his songwriting. More than twenty artists have recorded and/or performed John Gorka songs, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mary Black, and Maura O’Connell. He also started sharing tours with many notable friends, with Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter among them.
