 Celebrating the release of their self-titled debut album, folk’s newest supergroup Red Horse, featuring Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky will perform at One World Theatre. Together these three veteran songwriters team up to cover each other’s songs and breathe new life into old favorites – from Kaplansky’s version of Gilkyson’s “Sanctuary”, Gorka’s rendition of Kaplansky’s “Don’t Mind Me”, Gilkyson’s performance of Gorka’s “Forget to Breathe” and many more. Awash in gorgeous harmonies and simple acoustic production, Red Horse is the first truly collaborative effort by the trio – the result being a perfect patchwork of traditional folk and contemporary Americana. Red Horse’s sparse instrumentation allows these three wonderful singers to carry the magic of great songwriting. Eliza Gilkyson, an Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-nominee has become one of the most respected musicians in roots, folk and Americana circles. Her album Beautiful World was hailed as a masterpiece by critics and named “one of the best folk albums of 2008”. World-renowned singer/songwriter John Gorka has recorded eleven solo albums; his latest, So Dark You See, featured the song “Ignorance & Privilege”, named one of the top folk songs of 2009 by NPR Music. Singer/songwriter Lucy Kaplansky has been described as “a truly gifted performer with a bag full of enchanting songs” (New Yorker Magazine). Two of her seven albums, Ten Year Night and Every Single Day were awarded Best Pop Album of the Year by the Association for Independent Music.
