Folk artist, singer-songwriter Dvorak to perform in Rhinelander July 17
RHINELANDER WI - ArtStart welcomes folk singer-songwriter to its summer concert series on Thursday, July 17 at 6:30 pm. The event takes place at the ArtStart Gallery, 68 s. Stevens Street.
“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 timehost of The Midnight Special radio program named Dvorak “Chicago’s official troubadour.”
There is no admission charge, but a donation of $10 to the artist is requested. For more information 715.362.4328 or visit www.artstartrhinelander.org.
