Dvorak to perform at Beans & Books

Chicago folk singer-songwriter Mark Dvorak will present a special coffee house concert at 7 p.m. March 13 at Beans & Books, 1235 E. Green Bay St., Shawano. Dvorak, who was named “Chicago’s Troubadour” by WFMT 98.7 FM fine arts radio, has sustained a career of performing, recording and teaching that has spanned more than 25 years. He has performed in 36 states and several countries with only his guitar, five-string banjo and his songs. The Chicago Tribune called him “masterful,” while Sing Out! magazine said, “Dvorak shines!” Dvorak’s 2011 Waterbug release, Time Ain’t Got Nothin’ On Me, received national airplay and rose to number 14 on the Cashbox Roots Music Report. His newest project, a book of essays and poetry titled “Bowling for Christmas and Other Tales from the Road,” has received glowing reviews and sold out of its first printing in nine days. “We’re excited that Mark will be coming back to Shawano,” Beans & Books proprietor Sheri Schultz said. “He’s been a hit at the Shawano Folk Festival for more than 15 years. It’s a rare treat that he’ll be joining us for a solo show.” For information, call 715-524-2233, visit Beans & Books online at www.beansandbookscoffee.com or visit www.markdvorak.com.
