Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival

Presented by the Ford Seahorses in conjunction with the Dossin Great Lakes Museum

April 20, 2009

Programs & Presenters: Lee Murdock

Lee Murdock's Evening Concert was held in the main auditorium from 7:00pm - 8:30pm.

Lee has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes region (16 CDs and two books so far). There is an amazing timelessness in this music.

Great Lakes songs are made of hard work, 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.

Making folk music for the modern era, Murdock's work is a documentary and an anthem to the people who live, work, learn, and play along the freshwater highways of North America.

We hope to see you there next year, The Ford Seahorses.
