Bonnie Koloc

A longtime friend of the Old Town School, Bonnie Koloc, with her crystalline voice and exquisite songs, has been part of Chicago's folk scene since 1968 when she was one of the pivotal acts at the Earl of Old Town, Orphans and Holstein's folk music clubs. A true renaissance woman - from her singing and songwriting to her book illustrations and poetry - Koloc's artistry knows no bounds.

"A folk-ballad-pop-blues singer of enormous range, charm, and charisma.” - New York Times

“One of the giants of the 70's Old Town folk scene that included John Prine and Steve Goodman, and still going strong…” - Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune

Mark Dvorak

When singer songwriter Mark Dvorak began his career in music he knew right away he'd be in it for the long haul. Thirty-five years later Mark is still writing, recording and on the road performing. “At this stage of the game,” said the singer from his home outside Chicago, Illinois, “I feel like I'm doing my best work.”

The Chicago Tribune called him “masterful,” and the Fox Valley Folk Festival describes him as “a living archive of song and style.” In 2012 WFMT 98.7 fm Midnight Special host Rich Warren named him Chicago's “official troubadour.”

Mark has given concerts in almost all of the United States and has made visits to Finland, Canada and Ireland. To date he has released twenty albums of traditional, Americana and original song including 2020s acclaimed Let Love Go On and 2024s Live & Alone.

Dvorak has won awards for children's music, journalism and was honored in 2013 with the FARM Lantern Bearer Award from Folk Alliance International. In 2008 he received the Woodstock Folk Festival Lifetime Achievement Award.
