“‘We Become’ is one of the most profound love songs ever written…”

Gracie Joy Hogue, Dover TN

‘“Living it on your own terms. Truly an authentic artist. Well done Mark Dvorak.”

Mike Shields, Cleveland OH

“Many thanks for your fantastic concert two Sundays ago. I was so impressed with your musicianship as well as your ‘good sportsmanship’ - you  were flexible when we were forced to reschedule, you arrived on time in lousy weather, you were easy to work with and you put on a great show!

“You welcomed everyone into the library with a gentle rendition of ‘Jingle Bells’ during a late-spring snowstorm and then entranced everyone from the get-go. How cool was it that that one woman’s entire family came to honor her late father? And your duet at the end with Marge - WOW! We’ll likely work together again soon!”

Sarah Vessalo, Park Ridge IL Public Library

“We really enjoyed your concert, a perfect fit for The Admiral I think. The easy going atmosphere you brought and the fun old songs were just right. You’re not just fooling around with that guitar either, and I love your banjo playing. Uncle Win would have loved it… Thanks!”

Maria (they call the wind) Stracke, Chicago IL

"One of my favorite people in the whole world…”

Bill Camplin, Cafe Carpe, Ft. Atkinson Wi

“Mark Dvorak is a treasure - genuine, talented and truly caring & engaging…”

FARM Conference & Gathering, Grand Rapids MI

“I’m proud to know you. Your music is spectacular but you give to our community in so many other ways. You are indeed our generation’s Pete Seeger. Thank you…”

Nicole Harpe, Plainfield IL

“ So proud of the way you represent Chicago and all of us folksingers out there. Keep on keeping on, man!”

Deborah Robbins, Berkeley CA

“‘We Become’ inspired my homily for a packed congregation! Hope you don’t mind. Happy New Year, Friend!”

Fr. Ed McKenzie, Chicago IL
