Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Lee Murdock
- Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
- Date: Saturday, August 18, 2012, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Returning to the Hickory Ridge Concert Series at Dickson Mounds Museum on Saturday, August 18, 2012 will be Lee Murdock. Recognized for his songs of the Great Lakes the concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
Lee has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes. There is an amazing timelessness in this music. Great Lakes songs are made of hard word, hard living, ships that go down and ships that come in.
The music is grounded in the work song tradition, from the rugged days of lumberjacks and wooden sailing schooners. Murdock comes alongside with ballads of contemporary commerce and revelry in the grand folk style.
With a deeper understanding of the folk process, Lee's repertoire combines historical research and contemporary insights. Making folk music for the modern era, Lee Murdock's work is a documentary and also an anthem to the people who live, work, learn and play along the shores of the Great Lakes today.
