All ages, family-friendlyBring lawn chairs/blanket, BYOBRain location: Bishop Hill Creative Commons==================https://chicagofarmer.com/https://youtu.be/LIkRsutrAz8The son of a small town farming community, Cody Diekhoff logged plenty of highway and stage time under the name Chicago Farmer before settling in the city in 2003. 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 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.================Crossroads Cultural Connections is supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Humanities, the Doris and Ken Kolb Charitable Trust, Big Bluestem Wind, and generous donors like you!

Each concert is preceded by a potluck meal where guests bring all sorts of dishes, desserts, and drinks to share. Our concerts are one of the few places where entire families, young and old alike, can come together to experience live music.We have both indoor and outdoor performance spaces. Our indoor space seats 30 comfortably and is decked out with premium sound treatment panels and high-end amplification to provide the best possible listening experience. Weather-permitting, we also hold concerts outdoors, with performers setup on our large porch and guests on the lawn with their lawn chairs and blankets, usually during a picturesque sunset.For performers we offer an attentive crowd in an intimate environment, dinner, a place to stay the night, and 100% of the proceeds." } ] } ] ```
