Eliza Gilkyson is a two-time Grammy-nominated Texas singer, songwriter and activist who is one of the most respected musicians in Folk, Roots and Americana circles. Her songs have been covered by Joan Baez, Bob Geldof, Tom Rush and Rosanne Cash and have appeared in films, PBS specials and on prime-time TV. She was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame and over the years has won countless Austin Music and Folk Alliance awards. Eliza's music has always offered a vivid reflection of the times we live in, full of joys and sorrows, each song a window into a life of struggle and triumph in a world she feels is "poised on the edge of moral, economic and environmental bankruptcy." Her latest release is the Grammy-nominated Nocturne Diaries. Produced by her son, Cisco Ryder, it is a contemplative work inspired by the converging forces of her highest hopes and darkest fears. On stage Eliza brings a vibrant mix of laugh-til-you-cry storytelling, political diatribes, and vulnerable love songs to both Earth and humanity.
