Now in its 20th year, Old Songs & New People is Mark Dvorak’s introduction to American folk music. Mark’s natural, direct stage presence captures the attention of young listeners and engages them in participation songs, sing-alongs, action songs and stories taken from diverse sources within American music.
Old Songs & New People is a presentation for kids and families in educational and social settings alike. It captures the innocence, strength and beauty of folk music while audiences smile, laugh and spontaneously join in. Mark shares his love for traditional music, presenting these seemingly simple songs with dignity and care.
Songs & stories are treasures that live on when we actively lift our voices together and sing
