Eliza Gilkyson with special guest Don Richmond

In a long overdue return to Salida, Eliza will perform as a duo with regionally acclaimed singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Don Richmond.

Two-time Grammy-nominated folksinger, inductee into the Austin Music Hall of Fame, the Austin Songwriter Hall of Fame, and winner of countless Folk Alliance and Austin Music Awards including Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance international Convention in 2021 for “Peace in Our Hearts”, Gilkyson has written songs that have been covered by Joan Baez, Tom Rush, Rosanne Cash and others.

Eliza Gilkyson is known for her intimate, insightful and spontaneous live performances, with songs ranging from the spiritual to the practical, from the mundane to the profound, in a soulful evening of music where heart, intellect, humor and craft all come into play. She has a reputation for bringing world class musicians with her on tour, and her Salida show will be no exception with the inclusion of Alamosa’s beloved multi-instrumentalist/producer Don Richmond, who has produced and played with her on her last two records. Don will be accompanying her on a variety of instruments, creating colors and musical textures that enhance every song.
