The Chicago Tribune called Mark Dvorak “masterful,” and the Fox Valley Folk Festival described him as “a living archive of song and style.” In 2012, WFMT 98.7 FM Fine Arts Radio named him “Chicago’s official troubadour.”
In 1986, Dvorak joined the faculty of Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music. He soon became embedded in the Chicago acoustic music scene. He is an integral member of the Old Town School faculty, where he is artist-in-residence.
He has released 17 albums of traditional and original music, including the acclaimed Time Ain’t Got Nothin’ On Me, and the 2015 release, Back Home.
Dvorak has won awards for children’s music, journalism, and was honored in 2008 with the Woodstock Folk Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2013, he received the FARM Lantern Bearer Award from Folk Alliance International.
In 2013, he published his second collection of essays and poetry, Bowling for Christmas & Other Tales from the Road. It was highly acclaimed and the first printing sold out in nine days.
Dvorak continues to perform more than two hundred dates each year and looks back on a 30 year career woven from the disparate threads of touring musician, educator, and community builder.
