Eliza Gilkyson

Welcome back the wonderful voice and superb songwriting of Eliza Gilkyson who performs songs from her brilliant 2008 release, Beautiful World and previous recordings Lost and Found, Hard Times in Babylon and Land of Milk and Honey which was Grammy-nominated in 2004 for Best Contemporary Folk Album.

She has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and Austin City Limits. All of Eliza’s previous Roaring Brook shows have been artistically stunning. Few songwriters approach her ability to capture the complexity of relationships and comment on the joys, hopes and consequences of living in our world.

She’ll entertain us with song favorites “Runaway Train,” “Tender Mercies,” “Great Correction” & “Beautiful World.”
“Edgy lyrics with poetic imagination—Gilkyson is making folk music for the 21st century and it is a delightful thing to hear.”—Austin Chronicle
