Folk Singer Mark Dvorak in Homewood June 29

Folk singer and songwriter Mark Dvorak will perform at the Twisted Q Barbecue and Bakery, 2053 Ridge Road, on Saturday, June 29 at 8:00 pm.    "The south suburbs has been lacking in music venues for the last ten years," said event promoter Dave Rudolph. "I'm excited for the eclectic lineup of artists we're presenting, and excited that Mark is able to help us initiate the series."   "The Twisted Q is ideal for enjoying a casual dinner and a beverage, but is also Homewood's new listening room." Dvorak, who was named "Chicago's Troubadour" by WFMT 98.7 fm fine arts radio last year, has sustained a career of performing, recording and teaching that has spanned more than twenty-five years. He has performed in thirty-six states and several countries abroad with only his guitar, 5-string banjo and his songs.   His songwriting has been called "wondrous," and "profound." His performance "an elegant balancing act of the traditional, the original and the powerful." The Chicago Tribune calls him "masterful," while SING OUT! magazine says, "Dvorak shines!" His 2011 Waterbug release, Time Ain't Got Nothin' On Me, received national airplay and rose to number 14 on the Cashbox Roots Music Report.   General admission is $8.
