Mark Dvorak at the Grand River Folk Arts Society Acoustic Saturday Nights January 16, 2010

Chicago’s nationally known folk troubadour Mark Dvorak has been crisscrossing the country, living the life of the traveling troubadour and honing his craft as musician, songwriter and entertainer. The state of the economy has has made it more difficult for many performers to continue touring, but Dvorak enjoyed a busy year of touring. He has been to both coasts and given performances in Tennessee, Ohio, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, a recording session in Nashville, and even a tour of Finland. Dvorak has been called “a folk singer’s folk singer who follows unerringly in the footsteps of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie,” performing more than 200 concerts per year. His song writing has been called “wondrous” and “profound.” He is an integral member of the faculty at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, and when he’s not on the road he can be found there teaching, jamming with students and passers by, or just hanging out and soaking in the vibe.
