John Goraj is a great up-and-coming indie folk singer/songwriter originally from South Dakota now based out of LA who writes warm bluegrass-tinged folk songs that are melodic, emotive and beautifully unique. On his debut Possible, Goraj’s scratchy tenor evokes a sense of reflection, sorrow and thoughtfulness over the course of 10 stunning songs – standout tracks include: “Kahlil Gibran from Lebanon”, “Burn” and “Baby Blue Cords”. From hushed, haunting tracks to catchy toe-tappers, “Possible” is a strong debut and I look forward to more releases from Goraj. – Written by JFelton
