Folk club celebrates 35th anniversary with concert and community sing out October 18
GRAYSLAKE IL - The Lake County Folk Club will celebrate its 35th anniversary with a concert by Midwest troubadour Mark Dvorak on Sunday, October 18 at 7:00 pm. The event will take place at the Grayslake Village Hall, 10 Seymour Avenue.
“Mark is one of the few charter members still active in club activities,” said Lake County Folk Club President Scott Engstrom. “He’s bee on the road a lot of years it seems, and like fine wine, he keeps getting better with age."
“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 Lake County Folk Club was established in 1991 and has continuously presented concerts, an open stage, jam sessions and a festival which ran for ten years.
