Profoundly inspired by fellow midwesterner John Prine, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small town roots, tilled with city streets mentality, are turning heads North and South of I-80.“I love the energy, music, and creativity of Chicago, but at the same time, the roots and hard work of my small town,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan, Illinois, with a population less than 2,000, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. He writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan, everyone has a story, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard - many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12 hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.”He listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar, city to city - to make a direct connection to his audience and listener, took a deeper hold.==================The potluck is optional, but it is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving spoons. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it, it is likely others will as well.================This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Humanities, and the Doris and Ken Kolb Charitable Trust. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bishop-hill/chicago-farmer-|-bishop-hill-il/100001963664896566 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, nonprofit, food-drinks, potluck, workshops, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bishop Hill - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Bishop Hill Creative Commons - **lat**: 41.2023585 - **long**: -90.11822369999999 - **full address**: Bishop Hill Creative Commons, 309 North Bishop Hill Street, Bishop Hill, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Chicago Farmer | Bishop Hill, IL - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/2f10304bd4b493f016428d46c34141d5da44488665fcd11e66368ff7565a6de4-rimg-w750-h500-dc2f2f2f-gmir.jpg?v=1762470783 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Chicago Farmer | Bishop Hill, IL being held? - **A:** Chicago Farmer | Bishop Hill, IL takes place on Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Bishop Hill Creative Commons, 309 North Bishop Hill Street, Bishop Hill, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Chicago Farmer | Bishop Hill, IL? - **A:** Tickets for Chicago Farmer | Bishop Hill, IL are priced at USD 34 per person.
