wed. 06/24/26 live music: workin' on it wednesday WITH CHICAGO FARMER (6:00 - 8:00 PM)

Chicago Farmer (Cody Diekhoff) brings Midwest storytelling to life with songs rooted in real people, long roads, and small-town grit. Raised in Central Illinois and inspired by legends like John Prine, his blend of folk, humor, and heart feels as genuine as it gets. After decades on the road, Chicago Farmer delivers a live show that’s part concert, part conversation—perfect for a night under the lights at DESTIHL.


“I love Chicago Farmer’s singing and playing and songs, but it’s the intention behind the whole of his work that moves me to consider him the genuine heir to Arlo Guthrie or Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. He knows the shell game that goes on under folk music… which is sacred to me. Chicago Farmer is my brother; if you like me, you’ll love him.” - Todd Snider

“After a few listens to the record it becomes apparent that Chicago Farmer has a refreshingly firm grip on where he comes from. The songs are covered to the elbows in dirt from the fields and smell of the sweaty factory floors. If the Midwest is looking for a voice, the search is over.” - No Depression

Bathtub Hooch — jam // soul // rock & roll from the 217

Garrett Burris (lead vox/guitar) has rejoined forces with long-time collaborator, Austin Stark (drums), and new bassist Corey Neidigh to bring back the sights and sounds of Bathtub Hooch. The blues-infused rock and jam group is excited to relaunch the project for 2026 after performing across Illinois and beyond from 2014-2019.


The trio weaves together a heady blend of funk, rock, Americana, and blues while they jam in and around each other. From imaginative originals, to classic covers made fresh again, Bathtub Hooch brings new energy to a music landscape begging for passion and realness from its performers.

Austin’s consistent, yet free-flowing drum style gives each track a unique energy. Corey’s diverse influences brings a mix of funk, bar blues, and pop punk that both support and shine. Garrett’s stellar vocals bring it all home, laying down heavy riffs and killer shreds on electric guitar.
