November - A Taste of Texas- Whitney Luckett [ 8/15/2009 - 17:16 ] #  Years ago it was too hot to do concerts here at the house, so at the last moment we moved Eliza Gilkyson & her band over to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We've wanted to have her back here at the house ever since. For those who have faithfully watched for her return - your wait is just about over.
Join us in November for an intimate evening here at the house with Eliza Gilkyson & Nina Gerber. We're so behind bringing Eliza here that she has brought out 2 CDs since her concert here in 2005. The most recent, Beautiful world, has garnered some great reviews:
New York Times
"lush and passionate...edgy lyrics with piercing imagery"
Austin Chronicle
"cathartic to the point of jubilation, brimming with radio-polished tunes"
When the Great Correction Comes , the song that inspired the recent CD turned out (unfortunately) to be rather prophetic. Graham Green provides a thoughtful review here. You might also want to check out a recent concert review here.
(Whitney confesses that one of her all time favorite songs remains Gilkyson's Requiem written in the wake of the Katrina.)
Eliza will be joined by a true musician's musician, Nina Gerber. Her mastery of the guitar is evidenced by her accompaniment of any of the following artists: Kate Wolf, Nanci Griffith, Greg Brown, Lucy Kaplansky, Mollie O'Brien, Dave Alvin, Karla Bonoff, John Gorka, Cheryl Wheeler, Tom Paxton, and many others.
