Humanities Project: Lee Murdock Entertains at CCC on Feb. 14

Lee Murdock

The CCC Spencer/Rounds Theatre will come to life on Tuesday, February 14, with a variety of stories and music centered around America’s lighthouses.  

Noted as a fluent instrumentalist on the six and twelve string guitars, Murdock combines ragtime, Irish, blues and folk styles with his flair for storytelling in songs.  His musical influences span 15 generations.  Murdock began his folk 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.  

His focus on Great Lakes music began as a simple interest in finding the folk songs from his own local history. “I sort of ‘fell in’ to the Great Lakes by accident,” says Murdock, “but once I started performing songs about the Great Lakes, my audiences kept asking for more. And the stories and songs just keep coming.”

The public is invited to the 10:30 a.m. Tuesday humanities performances at CCC.  The performances are free and held in the Spencer/Rounds Theatre.  For more information, call 620-251-7700, ext. 2145 or 2038.
