We are pleased to welcome folk singer-songwriter 

Mark Dvorak

Mark Dvorak is a modern day troubadour who has never stopped performing, writing and recording. He has been called a folk singer’s folk singer who has an encyclopedic knowledge of traditional songs. His songwriting has been called “wondrous” and “profound.”

Since 1981, Mark has performed in nearly all of the United States. His concerts are a mix of the familiar and the new; traditional folk and standards from the American song book. Mark enjoys involving his audience in sing along songs, just like The Weavers used to do, and he mixes in his own well-crafted and often poignant originals. Mark likes to joke around with the folks who attend his shows and throughout the program he’ll add personal anecdotes, and a touch of history or social context.

Mark's roots are in Chicago, and he continues to be an integral member of the faculty at Chicago’s venerable Old Town School of Folk Music. When he’s not on the road, you can find him there teaching, jamming with students and passers by, or just hanging out and soaking in the vibe. 

in Molly’s Café (floor 3 1/2 - not wheelchair accessible)
