Folk singer songwriter Mark Dvorak performs at Jekot Theater Sunday March 26
CHICAGO IL - The Jekot Theater at Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro 3905 N. Lincoln Avenue, will present singer songwriter and storyteller Mark Dvorak in a special matinee concert on Sunday, March 26 at 3:30 pm.
"The Jekot is Chicago’s home for intimate solo theater,” said director Scott Whitehair who founded the series in September 2022. “We present everything from comedy, to historical presentations, storytelling and of course, music. The theater seats 46 and each show feels like a private performance.”
Dvorak is busy at work on his 20th CD release Live & Alone, recorded in an empty concert hall during the height of the pandemic lock down. He is also planning to publish his fourth book of essays, 31 Winters, which reflects on his long journey through music and teaching.
“At this stage of the game,” said the singer from his home outside Chicago, Illinois, “I feel like I’m doing my best work.”
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.”
The theater is handicapped accessible. General admission seating is $13. Order tickets online at www.sundaysolo.com.
