Lee Murdock returns to his roots with concert Nov. 21

Posted

Maple Street Concerts is thrilled to have Lee Murdock return to the place where it all began for him 35 years ago. Murdock has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes. Taking snapshots from history, his songs summon the listener to take a front-row seat, to look through the eyes and into the hearts of individuals who have shaped our heritage on and around the Great Lakes. His concerts invoke a sense of place, but it is a universal place, and a timeless repertoire that celebrates the North American people, their triumphs and tragedies, work songs and pastimes. The music is grounded in the work song tradition, from the rugged days of lumberjacks and wooden sailing schooners. His musical influences span 15 generations, and combine original compositions with traditional music. Saturday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. Tickets: $20 at maplestreetconcerts.org. (Submitted photo)
