 start at  a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. His presen
 ce is  warm and friendly\, his songs are thoughtful\, inspired\, and hum
 an\; you  will laugh\, cry\, and beg for more.\nSoon he started travelin
 g to New York City\, where Jack Hardy&rsquo\;s  legendary Fast Folk circ
 le (a breeding ground for many a major  singer-songwriter) became a powe
 rful source of education and  encouragement. Folk meccas like Texas&rsqu

 nd Boston followed\, and his stunningly  soulful baritone voice and orig
 inal songwriting began turning heads.\nHis rich multifaceted songs full

 and audiences across the country\, and  overseas. Many well known  artis
 ts have recorded and/or performed John Gorka songs\, including Mary  Cha
 pin Carpenter\, Nanci Griffith\, Mary Black and Maura O&rsquo\;Connell.

 n and has appeared on CNN.\nJohn still tours the world and continues his
  love of songwriting.
