John Gorka will perform at 8 p.m. Friday, April 27, at One Longfellow Square, 181 State St. in Portland.

The songwriter is touring for his new studio album, “True in Time.” The album features a band of some of the Twin Cities’ best musicians in live sessions, with vocal cameos contributed by fellow folk luminaries Jonatha Brooke, Eliza Gilkyson, and Lucy Kaplansky. Gorka, along with Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin, continues to be a bright light of the folk/singer-songwriter scene that came out of the Fast Folk Scene in the 90s.

Tickets cost $30.
