Lee Murdock will perform a benefit concert onboard the Steamship William G. 
Mather Museum at Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor on October 2 at 8 pm.  Enjoy 
the Great Lakes’ premiere balladeer on a genuine flagship freighter for a 
magical evening of sunset, songs, and sailors.

Discover a sweetwater treasure in his songs about the Great Lakes, and 
explore the drama and inspiration in the lives of sailors and fishermen, 
lighthouse keepers, ghosts, shipwrecks, outlaws and everyday heroes.  His 
musical arrangements of new and traditional folk ballads, chanteys, and work 
songs introduce folk music to new audiences, while entertaining the serious 
fans of maritime and traditional music.

Weather permitting, Lee will perform outside on the main deck, otherwise, he 
will sing inside one of the Mather’s authentic Cargo Holds.  The Mather 
Museum will be open prior to the concert for tours of “The Ship That Built 
Cleveland.”  For ticket prices and more information, contact the Mather 
Museum at 216-574-9053.  You can also visit the Mather Museum online at
