CHICAGO IL - City News Cafe, 4018 N. Cicero Avenue welcomes folk singer songwriter Mark Dvorak on Sunday, May 10 from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
City News opened as a corner newsstand in 1978. Forty-five years later City News has grown into one of the largest newsstands in the country.
“The music will go on,” said Donna Kosiba of City News. “We had a devastating crash happen to our storefront in April, but we will survive. We are grateful for the support of our performing artists and the Portage Park community."
Local singer songwriter, activist and Portage Park resident Patty Peace will open the afternoon show and join Dvorak to close the afternoon.
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.”
