Shindell's songwriting is truly eclectic, ranging from lighthearted ballads and adulterous love songs, to dirges and diatribes that skillfully skewer politics, prejudice, war and religion. He has a unique ability to morph into the soul of the many and varied personalities he casts as narrators in certain songs--songs that are veritable novellas framed in haunting acoustic melodies, sometimes including cryptic, revelations through the eyes of a woman. "Shindell is a master builder of songs, yet always leading listeners toward the emotional essence of the moment or character he is evoking. As with all master craftsmen, knowing what to leave out is as important to him as what he puts in. Shindell has uncanny sense of the theater of a song, building his ballads sparely and subtly, set to sweeping graceful melodies." by SCOTT ALARICK, The Boston Globe. Doors of the West Grove Friends Meeting house open at 7:30 and the concert begins at 8:00. |

In 2000, Eliza released her first album on the Red House Records label, the critically acclaimed Hard Times in Babylon. In 2004 Eliza released Land of Milk and Honey, an album that was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Contemporary Folk Album. The CD is decidedly socio/political in nature, from the Iraq War awareness plea, "Hiway 9," to the call for peace in Woody Guthrie's previously unrecorded and timely peace anthem, "Peace Call," a track featuring vocals by friends and fellow artists Patty Griffin, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Iris DeMent. August of 2005, brought Gilkyson's, Paradise Hotel, featuring songs that artfully reveal the roots of her progressive patriotism, comment on the direction our world is headed and peal back the thin layers obscuring the heart of what matters in these complex times. Eliza newest albums, Your Town Tonight (2007) and Beautiful World (2008) demonstate that her songwriting has a Dylanesque quality as her tunes burst with edgy lyrics and poetic imagination.
