“No one spins a yarn or sings an old timey song with more skill and respect than Mark Dvorak.  He's a builder of the folk world,
 in Chicago, the region and the continent.  
His voice and song writing bring the heart of folk music into our contemporary world with humor, authenticity and a great warm voice.”  
Lilfest

“...one of a vanishing breed... Although all of us benefit from the tradition,
Dvorak is one of the few who keep it alive. Listen.  Join in.”

North Platte, Nebraska
 
The terrain surrounding North Platte is that of the West, not the Midwest. The sky is huge and the spaces beneath wide open. It is Nebraska, but feels like Wyoming. I checked twice, it is Nebraska. The cottonwoods look dry, but the hills are still green and lush. Though they have a lot of corn out here, the farmers somehow look more like ranchers. What we call cows in Illinois are called cattle out here.   continue
