SCHAUMBURG IL - The Village of Schaumburg will feature the music of "Chicago's official troubadour" Mark Dvorak at the Olde Schaumburg Centre Farmers' Market on Friday, August 21 from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. The award-winning farmer's market takes place in the parking lot in front of the Trickster Gallery, 190 N. Roselle Road.

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."
