Outpost in the Burbs presents “An Evening with John Gorka” on Friday, Dec. 1, at 8 p.m., at First Congregational Church, 40 South Fullerton Ave. Outpost volunteers will be collecting donations of new, unwrapped toys for the Toys for Tots program at this show.
The Outpost writes in a release, “For over two decades, John Gorka’s keen ear has picked up the stories along his path, folding them into poetry and song. His keen perceptiveness inspires people from all over the world to share their stories. By involving those tales in his music, he escapes the trap of introspection that hobbles less gifted singer-songwriters.” For information, visit outpostintheburbs.org, or call 973-744-6560.
