ELIZA GILKYSON (Taos, New Mexico) - An accomplished guitarist and pianist by the time she was a teenager, Eliza is the daughter of Terry Gilkyson ("All Day, All Night, Maryann"). Eventually relocating to Santa Fe, with a few years in Austin and Los Angeles, Eliza pursued her passion for folk music. She wrote for films, released albums, opened for many national artists, and toured. She first played Kerrville in 1981 with ten appearances since. In 1984 she appeared on "Austin City Limits". Her song about domestic violence against women, "Rosie Strike Back", was recorded by Rosanne Cash in 1987, keeping Eliza in the national spotlight in the late 1980's. Her LP's on Goldcastle, her CD's on Private Music, her European and American tours and recording with Andreas Vollenweider, and domestic tours and concert dates with Ladysmith Black Mombazo, Dan Fogelberg, and Bonnie Raitt have kept her busy. Her new CD is just about ready for release. In December of 1996, she co-hosted the Kerrville Music Awards with Peter Rowan. Her music has been categorized as pop, folk, rock and new age. |
