Shalom Over 50 to host folk performer Dvorak August 12
HOMEWOOD IL - The Jewish Community Center will sponsor a folk music concert at Shir Tikvah, 1424 W. 183rd Street, on Tuesday, August 12 at 1:00 pm. The event is hosted by Shalom Over 50 and features Midwest troubadour and singer Mark Dvorak performing on guitar and 5-strong banjo.
The Chicago Tribune has called Dvorak “masterful,” and the Fox Valley Folk Festival describes him as “a living archive of song and style.” In 2012, WFMT Classical and Folk Radio named him “Chicago’s official troubadour.”
The program will include folk classics like “This Land Is Your Land” and “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine,” selections from the Great American Songbook like “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie,” as well as Dvorak’s original compositions.
Listeners will also hear stories about growing up in the Chicago area, songs he remembers from his grandparents and songs he learned while a student at the Old Town School of Folk Music.
His show is funny, passionate, intimate and unforgettable.
