The Traveling Folk Song with Mark Dvorak comes to Rolling Meadows Library October 11

ROLLING MEADOWS IL - The Rolling Meadows Library, 3110 Martin Lane, welcomes folk singer songwriter Mark Dvorak back to its Sunday Concert Series October 11 at 2:00 pm.

“Mark has become a fan favorite here in Rolling Meadows,” said Adult Programming Coordinator Janet Collins. “The last time he performed here, our second floor listening space was filled to capacity.

“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.”
