DCCA
presents Great Lakes Troubadour Lee Murdock
Great Lakes troubadour Lee Murdock will sing seafaring songs and share
stories of ships that go down and ships that come in when he performs
at Arcanum Historical Society’s Wayne Trail House on Thursday, March 7;
a part of Darke County Center for the Arts’ Coffeehouse Series, the
show starts at 7 p.m. “Lee has uncovered a boundless body of music and
stories about the Great Lakes,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith
Rawlins. “These timeless tales of hard work and hard living epitomize
the power of music to touch hearts, souls, and minds with universal
truths,” Mr. Rawlins explained.
According to the Artistic Director, Lee Murdock is a fluent
instrumentalist who combines ragtime, Irish, blues and folk styles with
his flair for storytelling in songs. “Lee says that he looks for songs
with interesting stories that will not only appeal to folk music
enthusiasts but also to people who think they don’t like folk music,”
stated Mr. Rawlins. “His talents are perfectly suited to our intimate
Coffeehouse shows which are similar to sitting in a comfortable living
room with friends and neighbors who interact with each other and the
performer,” Mr. Rawlins concluded.
DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series which presents artists performing in an
inviting social setting where food and drink are also available is
sponsored by Rodney Oda, Steve and Eileen Litchfield, and The
Andersons. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program
with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational
excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives
operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as
well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial
Trust Fund, and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of Darke County
Foundation. DCCA membership contributions also help support this series.

contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@darkecountyarts.org; tickets
are also available online at www.darkecountyarts.org and will be sold

performing the music and history of the Great Lakes for fourth through

these performances are free and open to the public.
