Box Factory For the Arts features Midwest double bill October 3
ST. JOSEPH MI - The Box Factory For the Arts, 1101 Broad Street, will feature the Midwest songwriting duo The Thornton’s, along with Chicago’s “official troubadour” Mark Dvorak, for an evening of song and story on Saturday, October 3 at 7:30 pm.
Stanwood residents Mathew and Sherri Thornton have been performing together since 2017. They each enjoyed a long career in the music industry performing on studio sessions and commercial music projects.
“We met Mark last autumn at a music conference in Chicago.,” said Mathew. “We decided to collaborate on a handful of shows in Michigan and the Midwest. We’re thrilled to share the stage with him.”
“The Thorntons are special folks,” said Dvorak from his home outside Chicago. “Their songs possess a rare quality, enchanting, I’d say. Their harmony singing is spot on and their message is always thoughtful and warm.”
Dvorak has given concerts in almost all of the United States and has made visits to Finland, Canada and Ireland. He has released twenty albums of traditional, Americana and original song including 2020s Let Love Go On and 2024s Live & Alone. The Chicago Tribune called him ‘masterful,” and the Fox Valley Folk Festival describes him as “a living archive of song and style.”
