PopMatters
"Like Johnny Cash or Pete Seeger, the very timbre of Gilkyson's voice convinces the listener that she understands the deep lessons of life."

"Bold, vibrant...Kaplansky's vocals seem to glide into the heavens."

About the Artist
RED HORSE is...

Eliza Gilkyson is a politically minded, poetically gifted singer-songwriter, who has become one of the most respected musicians in roots, folk and Americana circles. The Grammy-nominated artist has appeared on NPR, Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, etown, XM, Air America Radio and has toured with Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin and Mary Chapin Carpenter. In February of 2003, she was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame. The induction placed Eliza alongside an exclusive list of Austin Music Hall of Fame greats, including Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, Billy Joe Shaver, Butch Hancock, Joe Ely and others. In 2006, she was recognized with 3 Austin Music Awards and 4 Folk Alliance Music Awards, one of which was for "Song of the Year" for her tune "Man of God." Eliza's meditative tune "Requiem," written as a prayer for those who lost lives in the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia, was recorded by the nationally recognized choral group Conspirare and was nominated for a Grammy. It was also featured on NPR's All Things Considered. Her most recent Red House release Beautiful World was hailed as masterpiece by All Music Guide and was called "one of the best folk albums of 2008" by the Utne Reader.

John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who was raised in New Jersey and came out of New York City's Greenwich Village folk scene that produced such songwriters as Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin. His award-winning songs have been recorded and performed by such notable artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith and Mary Black. John has recorded eleven solo albums, six on Red House Records. His latest, So Dark You See, featured the song "Ignorance & Privilege," which was highlighted as one of the top folk songs of 2009 by NPR Music. The album also includes unique musical takes on some of his favorite songs and poems, including Robert Burns' "A Fond Kiss" and Utah Phillips' "I Think of You." It also includes "Where No Monuments Stand," his musical version of the poem "At the Un-national Monument by the Canadian Border by Oregon Poet Laureate William Stafford, which was written for the documentary on Stafford's life called Every War Has Two Losers.

Lucy Kaplansky is a singer, songwriter and former clinical psychologist. Not a practicing doctor anymore, she returned to her first love--singing. She began performing at a young age, singing in Chicago bars in high school and then moving to New York City, where she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers--Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others--where she fit right in. With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone's favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. Even then, while she was only singing part-time, people envisioned big things for her; in fact, The New York Times said it was "easy to predict stardom for her." Since then, she has recorded seven albums for Red House and her music has been featured in films and television as well as on national radio programs like Mountain Stage, Acoustic Cafe and NPR's Morning and Weekend Editions. Her latest album Over the Hills was a return to her folk and country roots with personal songs about love and loss and fresh covers of Johnny Cash and Ian Tyson songs.
