From New Jersey, 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. 

 

He traveled 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.

The Blues Project was formed in 1965 in Greenwich Village, New York City.  Their songs drew from a wide array of musical styles.  The Blues Project is most remembered as one of the most artful practitioners of pop music, influenced as it was by folk, blues, rhythm & blues, and jazz.  The group is led by co-founder and original drummer, Roy Blumenfeld.

 

Blumenfeld was a childhood friend of guitarist Danny Kalb, and a member of the Danny Kalb Quartet along with guitarist Artie Traum, and Andy Kulberg on bass.  Later in 1965, Steve Katz replaced Traum on guitar and the group added singer Tommy Flanders, and changed its name to the Blues Project.  At the end of 1965, Al Kooper was invited to join the group.  In 1967 the Blues Project performed at the Monterey International Pop Festival in Monterey, California.  They also performed at The Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island.

​

The Blues Project is alive and well, with Roy Blumenfeld leading a new powerful lineup that also includes a band of young and talented “pupils”: Chris Bergson and Mark Newman on guitars, Jesse Williams or Ivan Bodely on bass depending on availability and Ken Clark on keyboards and vocals.

Here is our review of Sam Morrow and his band from the first time he performed at the Lizzie Rose Music Room back in 2024.
The point of this blast is to get you our patrons off their butts and to join us for what is going to be another barn burning night of music. Sam Is touring in support of his new album titled 
"Southern Boogie" So if you Texas Rock an Blues do not mis this show.

​

  9-14-2024 The Lizzie Rose Musuc Room welcomed the Sam Morrow Band to our stage for their debut performance. The sound check proved this was going to be a killer show. These guys ripped the roof of right from jump street with a great mid-tempo blues jam. It only got better from there with Sam's kick butt blend of blues that was melded into country, funk and rock. He played a lot of his original compositions but also did stunning renditions of Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love", Little Feat's "Sallin Shoes", ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" and the closing jam with Don Williams' "Tulsa Time"

What made these jams notable is that Sam reworked them and made them his own. Props to his band who are top notch musicians and they kept a steady groove all night long. The mark of a great band is when the last song is played and the audience stands up and wants even more. The audience last night definitely wanted more and they got it !!! For all of you who missed this show you missed one of the top five bands we have had at the Lizzie Rose . Do yourself a favor and don't sit on your hands again and miss another memorable show by the Sam Morrow Band. LM

“(Werner is) a songwriter and musician who is in such complete command of her gifts that it’s almost scary.”

— All Music Guide

 

“Susan Werner, a clever songwriter and an engaging performer, brings literacy and wit back to popular song.”

— The New Yorker

 

Over the course of her twenty five year career, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune). With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age 5) and piano (she was a guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz), along with a graduate degree in voice performance, her shows are a one-woman master class in musicianship. Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (I Can’t Be New, 2004), gospel music (The Gospel Truth, 2007), traditional Cuban “son” (An American In Havana, 2016), and New Orleans junk piano (NOLA, 2019). In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics to the musical theater score Bull Durham, The Musical (MGM). Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones, Michael Feinstein, and Shemekia Copeland, and her latest recording of originals, The Birds of Florida, took flight in 2022.

Eric Johanson blends sharp songwriting with a deep connection to the guitar, creating music that’s dynamic, soulful, and rooted in a mix of rock, roots, blues, and modern influences. Whether channeling the swampy pulse of his New Orleans home or leaning into heavier, fuzz-laden textures, Johanson’s music strikes a balance between grit and finesse, power and restraint. As American Songwriter puts it, he “displays his guitar prowess but within the borders of melodies and lyrics that push the boundaries of blues/rock… searing guitar work, and persuasive songwriting.”

 

His 2023 album The Deep and the Dirty debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and solidified Johanson as one of the most compelling guitar-driven artists working today. He followed in 2025 with another Top 10 Billboard release, Live In Mississippi, capturing the raw electricity of his stage show. Extensive U.S. touring and sold-out headline runs across Europe have fueled rapid, word-of-mouth growth, building a reputation for performances that are powerful, unpredictable, and deeply connected to the room

With her feet planted on both sides of the blues-rock divide, Dana Fuchs is one of the fiercest voices in modern-day roots music. She's equal parts soul singer and bluesy belter, funneling her own story — a tale of small-town roots, family tragedy, trials, and triumph — into the amplified anthems and haunting ballads that fill albums like Bliss Avenue and Love Lives On. With her newest project, Borrowed Time, she digs deep into her southern rock upbringing, saluting the loud, guitar-driven sounds that sound-tracked her childhood years in rural Wildwood, Florida.

​

Wildwood was a small place for someone with such big ideas. Raised by an outspoken family of Irish-Catholic New Yorkers, Fuchs didn't fit in with the conservative culture of her hometown, and she developed a rebellious reputation at a young age. Music helped level her out. "My first-grade teacher took me under her wing," she says of those early days in the Deep South. "I just loved music, so she took me to her Baptist church on the black side of town, where I was exposed to a lot of soul. That sound stuck with me."
