CD release concert with Chicago folk legend in Grand Rapids November 21
GRAND RAPIDS, MI - The Grand River Folk Arts Society welcomes Chicago’s “official troubadour” Mark Dvorak to the Wealthy Theatre Annex, 1130 Wealthy Street SE, for a special CD release concert on Saturday, November 21 at 8:00 pm.
When the singer-songwriter began his career in music, he knew right away he was in it for the long haul. Thirty-four years later, “Back Home,” his latest release on Ten Fingers, marks an important milestone.
“At this stage of the game,” said Dvorak, “I feel like I’m doing my best work. ‘Back Home’ has a lot of variety and is a sampling of what I like to do before a live audience.”
Of the ten tracks on the disc, three of them were recorded live in 2012. It features a spoken word essay, “North Platte, Nebraska,” and two new original songs, “Pueblo, Colorado” and “Old Friends.”
“This is the first project where I did everything myself,” he said. “I arranged all the material and played all the instruments. I took all the photographs, except one, and designed the jacket.”
“He’s the real deal,” said Bau Graves, Executive Director of Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music. ”Mark has made music his life and livelihood. He’s been a top faculty member at the school for more than twenty-five years. His performances are elegant, rich and powerful.”
General admission is $12, $9 for folk and dance society members. The student rate is $10.
