Here is the site information: B'Earthday Party Celebration with John Gorka, Wanda Jackson and Daryl Hannah Air Dates: Jun 22-Jun 28 The B'Earthday Party show will be as diverse at etown's own glorious fourteen-year history. Singer/songwriter extraordinaire John Gorka will be joined in performance by the "undisputed queen of rockabilly" Wanda Jackson. Actress and environmental advocate Daryl Hannah will be presented with the e-chievement award for her efforts to educate tens of thousands of people about the benefits of choosing alternative fuels and modes of transportation. John Gorka John Gorka's "textbook case" of a singer/songwriter's rise to fame starts with John's first guitar, a Christmas present received at age 10, being appropriated by his brother. Gorka retaliated by learning the banjo. While at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA, he frequented the Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse, where he worked his way up from counter worker, to usher, to sound man, to MC and ultimately to the virtual house opener. Fortuitous meetings there with Nanci Griffith and Jack Hardy led him firstly to Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk Competition, which he won in 1984, and then to the "Fast Folk" scene in New York City, where he fell in with the revitalized Greenwich Village folk crowd. Playing along with Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Christine Lavin, Dave Van Ronk, Cliff Eberhardt, David Massengill, Frank Christian and Lucy Kaplansky, Gorka became known in the group as "the intense white guy from New Jersey." Gorka has released nine albums; the latest is "Old Futures Gone," on Red House Records. He brings his brilliant songbook and his well-loved rich baritone to etown on the latest leg of his "40-year tour."
