SUMMARY:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. Though small\, Godfrey Daniels was and is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions and has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians. In the late 1970’s\, John was one of these aspiring musicians. Although his academic coursework at Moravian College lay in Philosophy and History\, music began to offer paramount enticements. Soon he found himself living in the club’s basement and acting as resident MC and sound man\, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers\, Eric Andersen\, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt. \nTheir brand of folk-inspired acoustic music inspired him\, and before long he was performing his own songs – mostly as an opener for visiting acts. Soon he started traveling to New York City\, where Jack Hardy’s legendary Fast Folk circle (a breeding ground for many a major singer-songwriter) became a powerful source of education and encouragement. Folk meccas like Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston followed\, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads. Those who had at one time inspired him – Suzanne Vega\, Bill Morrissey\, Nanci Griffith\, Christine Lavin\, Shawn Colvin – had become his peers. \nVisit: johngorka.com

SUMMARY:Naturally 7
DESCRIPTION:Certain experiences burn themselves in your memory from the very first encounter. The jaw-dropping audio pyrotechnics that Naturally 7 put on display every night absolutely belong in that category. “A capella group” so vastly underplays what they create onstage that they had to coin a phrase – “Vocal Play” – to more accurately depict what they do. Naturally 7 is more than a tightly orchestrated collection of great singers. They transform their voices into actual human instruments\, effortlessly producing music of any genre. Their vocal choreography is so perfectly interwoven that they compelled the musical maestro himself\, Quincy Jones\, to declare that “Naturally 7 is the future of vocal music!!” Their sonic mastery was on full display in a series of unforgettable performances on “The World’s Best” TV show\, which premiered on CBS immediately following Super Bowl LIII. Hosted by comedian and “Car Karaoke” collaborator\, James Corden\, Naturally 7 reigned supreme as the world’s “Best Group”\, and cemented their singular status among the planet’s musical elite. \nThis was only icing on the cake of a still-vibrant 20-year career\, which includes 3 world tours – nearly 500 shows – with the incomparable Michael Bublé\, shared billing with global phenomenon Coldplay – including a sold out show at the Barclays Center – and owned the spotlight in a pair of national Cheerios commercials. In addition to Bublé\, Naturally 7 has shared the stage with numerous icons\, including Stevie Wonder\, Diana Ross\, Quincy Jones\, Sarah Connor\, Lionel Richie\, Ludacris\, The Roots\, and more. Counted among their world-famous fans are President Barack Obama\, Will.I.Am.\, Ellen DeGeneres\, Craig Ferguson\, Bill and Melinda Gates\, Jay Leno\, Allan Titchmarsh\, Mo’Nique\, Jools Holland\, and Arsenio Hall\, along with countless others. \nWith the release of their latest project\, 20/20\, Naturally 7 comes full circle\, adding a fresh spin on 20 fan favorites\, hand selected by fans the world over. This\, their eleventh studio album\, celebrates their 20th anniversary in the music industry\, giving music lovers all they could hope for\, and then some. For the members of Naturally 7 – “Ricky“ Lee Ricardo Cort\, Rod Eldridge\, N’namdi Bryant\, Sean Simmonds\, Dwight Stewart\, Roger Thomas\, and Warren Thomas – it’s a privilege to do what they love and bring so much joy to the hearts of their fans each and every night.  It’s exactly what you would expect. When something is pure magic it’s destined to withstand the test of time. Naturally… Naturally 7. \nVisit: naturallyseven.com

SUMMARY:TCAN Annual Benefit 2025
DESCRIPTION:TCAN Benefit 2025 continues a tradition of support for the positive impact the arts have on our community. Proceeds from the Annual Benefit support TCAN’s nonprofit mission to present artistic programming and community outreach initiatives throughout the year. Through subsidized tickets to world-class performances\, scholarship opportunities\, hosting of local nonprofit events and more\, TCAN is dedicated to providing affordable and accessible arts programming that everyone can enjoy. Sponsors and patrons of TCAN Annual Benefit 2025 play an important role in supporting the TCAN mission. \nAs TCAN celebrates its 28th year as a community-based arts organization\, TCAN Benefit 2025 features a performance by acclaimed composer and performing artist Bruce Hornsby. \nAbout Bruce Hornsby \nBruce Hornsby has built one of the most diverse\, collaborative\, and adventurous careers in contemporary music. Drawing from a vast wellspring of American musical traditions\, the singer/pianist/composer/bandleader has created a large and accomplished body of work and employed a vast array of stylistic approaches. Throughout this period\, Hornsby has maintained the integrity\, virtuosity\, and artistic curiosity that have been hallmarks of his work from the start. Hornsby and his band The Range’s first album\, The Way It Is (1986)\, was steadily and slowly building in popularity in the U.S. when\, in August\, the title track exploded on BBC Radio One in England\, then Europe\, the rest of the world\, and finally in the United States. \nHis three Grammy wins (along with his ten Grammy losses!) typify the diversity of his career: Best New Artist (1986) as leader of Bruce Hornsby and the Range\, Best Bluegrass Recording (1989) for a version of his old Range hit “The Valley Road” that appeared on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Will The Circle Be Unbroken Volume Two\, and a shared award with Branford Marsalis in 1993 for Best Pop Instrumental for “Barcelona Mona”\, a song written and performed for the 1992 Olympic Games. \nVisit: brucehornsby.com \nSponsorship Opportunities \nSponsors of TCAN Benefit 2025 receive premium seating for the concert\, invitations to exclusive pre- and post-show events\, special benefits\, and recognition for your support. For more information\, contact TCAN Development Manager Nicola Anderson at (508) 433-6140.
