Chicago’s official troubadour Dvorak performs in Lake Odessa April 13
LAKE ODESSA MI - Chicago’s “official” troubadour Mark Dvorak will be among the performers at Bob’s Barn Jamboree on Sunday April 13 at 3:00 pm.
Bob Warner and his wife Lynda host classes and music events throughout the year in the barn on their property in Lake Odessa. Bob’s Barn Jamboree is a live video taping and goes out to the internet and local access stations across Michigan. Warner is a member of the Michigan Bluegrass Hall of Fame and is an award-winning clog dancer.
"Mark has performed a number of times at the Jamboree and has become quite the favorite,” said Warner.
"We had him for the first time more than ten years ago and he was a big hit. We’re so pleased Mark is able to join us again this year."
Dvorak released his twentieth album, Live & Alone last year, and his fourth book of essays 31 Winters: Finding the Folk Way.
“At this stage of the game,” said Dvorak, “I feel like I’m doing my best work. I’m very excited about the new CD and book.
Dvorak has performed in thirty-eight states and in parts of Europe and Canada. He has won awards for journalism and children’s music. In 2008 he received the Woodstock Folk Festival Lifetime Achievement Award and the Lantern Bearer Award from Folk Alliance International in 2013. In 2012, WFMT 98.7 fm Midnight Special host Rich Warren named him Chicago’s “official troubadour.”
The Chicago Tribune calls Dvorak "masterful,” while WFMT fm 98.7 named him Chicago’s official troubadour in 2012
