Two-time Grammy nominee Eliza Gilkyson comes to Vienna’s Jammin’ Java on May 7, touring in support of her latest release, 2018’s Secularia. The Austin Statesman writes, “Gilkyson is producing the best music of her career.” Gilkyson’s music, in the classic folk tradition, has always offered a vivid reflection of the times we live in. Secularia is a collection of spiritually charged songs that don’t fit within the parameters of traditional religious beliefs and challenge us to embrace a more inclusive perspective, to respect all life and to be accountable for our actions in these divisive times.

One of the most respected musicians in folk, roots and Americana circles, Eliza’s 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. A member of the Austin Music Hall of Fame and Austin Songwriter Hall of Fame, she has won countless Folk Alliance and Austin Music awards, including 2014’s Songwriter of the Year. She has appeared on NPR, Austin City Limits,  Mountain Stage, etown, Sirius/XM, Air America Radio and has toured worldwide as a solo artist and in support of artists such as Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. You can pick up tickets to her performance at Jammin Java on May 7th, here.
