Chicago folk singer songwriter to perform in Dubuque September 14
DUBUQUE IA - Stonehill Care Center welcomes Chicago folk singer songwriter for a special afternoon concert on Sunday, September 14 at 2:00 pm.
“Mark is a favorite,” said Ron Heiderscheit of Dixon, Illinois. “My wife Elaine and I have followed him since the late 1980s when our children were small. My mother lived at Stonehill in her last years and we’d gather the family and invite Mark to perform every so often for the reunion. Now my daughter is on the administration and we wanted to sponsor the event once more."
“I’m so grateful for Ron & Elaine. Over decades now we’ve managed to keep in touch. I’m looking forward to the show, and looking forward to singing again with the family."
Dvorak who accompanies himself on guitar, 5-string banjo and 12-string guitar is celebrating the release of his 20th CD, Live & Alone, recorded in an empty concert hall during the height of the pandemic lock down, and his fourth book of essays, 31 Winters, which reflects on his long journey through music and teaching.
The Chicago Tribune has called Dvorak “masterful,” and the Fox Valley Folk Festival describes him as “a living archive of song and style.” Dvorak has won awards for journalism and children’s music, and was honored in 2013 with the FARM Lantern Bearer Award from Folk Alliance International. In 2008 he received the Woodstock Folk Festival Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2012 Rich Warren, long time host of The Midnight Special radio program named Dvorak “Chicago’s official troubadour.”
