BRECKSVILLE, Ohio – Lee Murdock will perform May 12 at 8 p.m. at Happy Days Visitor Center in Cuyahoga Valley National Park as a part of River Day, the annual clean up of the Cuyahoga River.
Murdock celebrates River Day by sharing the music of the Great Lakes. Murdock’s songs tell the stories of heroic deeds, tragic shipwrecks, and the lives of the people who make their homes and their living along the shores of the Great Lakes.
