Chicago folk singer songwriter comes to Door County August 10
FISH CREEK WI - The Fishstock Concert Series will present folk troubadour Mark Dvorak on Sunday, August 10 at 7:00 pm. The event takes place in a 100-year old renovated barn at 3127 County Road F.
“Mark has been on the road for a lot of years,” said music director Steve Ellman. “Like fine wine, he keeps getting better with age. We're thrilled to present him this season at Fishstock."
“At this stage of the game,” said the singer from his home outside Chicago, Illinois, “I feel like I’m doing my best work.”
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.”
Advance tickets are $20, general admission on the day of show $25. For information and reservations phone 414.659.1521 or log onto www.fishstockmusic.com.
