Folk singer songwriter Mark Dvorak kicks off Sunday concert series in Grand Haven September 20
GRAND HAVEN MI - The Loutit District Library, 407 Columbus Avenue, welcomes folk singer songwriter Mark Dvorak to its Sunday Concert Series September 20 at 2:00 pm.
“Mark has become a fan favorite here at Loutit,” said Katie Alphenaar, Head of Reference and Information. “Last spring he filled our listening space on the second floor. We thought having him back would be a great way to kick off our 2026-27 season.”
“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.”
