Eliza Gilkyson - gifted singer song-writer

Eliza Gilkyson should be a lot more famous.

One of Eliza's songs jumped out at me from my radio last summer while I was listening to CKUA radio - a public radio station in Alberta, Canada.

Her heartfelt lyrics and wonderful yet world weary voice grabbed my attention and I was hooked. Her name on last year's Canmore Folk Festival program drew me there. I was blown away by her appearance at the side stage, on the main stage and again at this year's Calgary Folk Fest. I had a chance to meet her - very cool!

One of her CDs on Red House Records was nominated for a Grammy but that won't stop me from suggesting she deserves to be even more famous.

No Depression magazine says she's "An exquisite weaver of story-songs that strike at the heart of personal experience . . ."

I couldn't say it better myself.
