Folk singer songwriter to perform in Wabeno October 12
WABENO WI - Folk singer songwriter Mark Dvorak will perform an after-dnnier show at the Big Easel Gallery & Bistro, 1784 Maple Avenue on Saturday, October 12.
“Mark has been on the road for a lot of years,” said Big Easel manager Tim Friesen. “We’re thrilled he’ll be joining us on his autumn tour.”
“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.”
