Red Horse in concert
to
Arrowhead Center for the Arts 51 West Fifth Street, Grand Marais, Minnesota 55604
Red Horse is composed of Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky, performing a concert supporting their album "Red Horse." The album has topped the folk charts for several months. Although they have been friends for years and recorded on each other's albums," Red Horse" is the first truly collaborative effort by Eliza, John and Lucy. Inspired by shows they did during Red House’s 25th Anniversary Tour, they decided to make a recording together, which has been a treat for all involved. The sparse instrumentation allows these three wonderful singers to carry the magic of great songwriting. Each of these artists solos on songs first made famous by the other two members. Lucy gives a moving performance of Eliza’s “Sanctuary,” John takes the lead on Lucy’s “Don’t Mind Me” and Eliza performs John’s “Forget to Breathe,” available for the first time on Red House Records. The album includes John’s new song “If These Walls Could Talk” as well as fresh new takes on Lucy’s popular song “Scorpion” and Eliza’s classic “Walk Away From Love.” Beautifully bookended with covers of Neil Young’s “I Am a Child” and the traditional tune “Wayfaring Stranger,” Red Horse is a homecoming, a return to their folk roots. At the Arrowhead Center for the Arts, 51 West 5th Street, in Grand Marais. Tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for kids. 7:30 p.m.
