Lee Murdock (Chicago)
With a deep understanding of the folk process, Lee Murdock's repertoire combines historical research and 
contemporary insights. Making folk music for the modern era, Lee Murdock's work is a documentary and an anthem to the people who live, work, learn and play along the shores of the Great Lakes today. 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. His fans have discovered a sweetwater treasure in his songs about the Great Lakes, finding drama and inspiration in the lives of sailors and fishermen, lighthouse keepers, ghosts, shipwrecks, outlaws and everyday heroes. Lee hopes to introduce folk music to new audiences, as well as entertaining the serious fans of maritime and traditional music. He began his performing career in the Chicago area in the mid 1970's, expanding his repertoire of blues and popular music as his interest in folk music and the maritime tradition grew.
