FEATURING:    CHICAGO FARMER

The 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 Love Preachers have a way of sneaking up on you. The music is soulful, but sublime. The songs are smart and original, with roots that take you through rock and roll back to the blues of the old south. The vocal quality of Taylor Steele is reminiscent of great legendary singers like Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples but also modern stars like Susan Tedeschi and Gillian Welch.  Stemming from these influences, she has immense control of her voice as she belts out notes and improvises, all while finding a beautiful balance between vibrato, tone, and projection.  Just when you think you have it figured out, the Love Preachers start preaching, Taylor’s voice starts soaring, and they take you for the ride you won't soon forget.

FEATURING:    THE DEEP HOLLOW

Since the inception of this harmony-driven, original music acoustic trio of Micah Walk, Elizabeth Eckert and Dave Littrell, the attraction between audience and act was obvious and powerful. Also members of other local groups, these three created a world together that brought success not found in other combinations. A possible explanation of the TDH phenomenon might be the similar individual ideals of success and stage presence combined with separate identities and backgrounds in music which forged one of those inexplicable, unexplainable spots in time that produced a likeable, marketable, real music presence.

Beginning with a win in the American Songwriter magazine songwriting contest in 2014 to a well-produced Kickstarter-launched album in 2015 that reached number three on the Folk DJ charts in early 2016, the terrific threesome continues to move forward into the realm of getting there. This summer and into the fall, The Deep Hollow hit a roll with a string of regional shows that exposed the group to audiences outside the local comfort zone, setting the stage for a bigger and better next year. - Tom Irwin, Illinois Times

Other times, they are blazing their own trails with a traditional country sound which is layered with musical hooks, catchy songwriting and outlaw energy.

This combined will leave you feeling like you’ve stepped back into the golden days of country music.

FEATURING:    BRETT CONLIN & THE MIDNIGHT MILES

Like many of his songwriting colleagues, Conlin started off playing in punk rock bands and slowly evolved into the self-reflecting persona he holds dear today. 70's country, raw rock n roll and folk music collide in his debut album "Glad To See You Go". A few chords and catchy melodies provide the soundtrack to his life, whether it be exaggerated or first-hand.

Much of his newer material is steering back toward his punk roots. Personal highs and lows, the increasing value of friendship and the helplessness of outliving your youth are all abundantly present in these songs. Conlin's new single, Good Old Days, approaches the ongoing stigma of mental health issues. "I wanted to write a song that said goodbye to this good old days of our youth mentality. We all need to move on from that and realize that our best days can be every day if we let them. I also wanted to let people know that depression is something I've struggled with like many others. The line at the end of the song that says we are not beyond repair is no joke. It's the thing that most of us need to hear and never do.", Conlin said about his latest release.The song also allows a new persona to come into play for Conlin. The once ex-punk gone country singer has evolved again into a sound filled with echoey guitars and Springsteen-esque approach to telling a story. At his live shows this all combines into a dose of folk-punk and alt-country with hard hitting lyrics to drown all of our collective sorrows in solidarity.

FEATURING:    THE DAVID MAYFIELD PARADE

If you’ve seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Jessica Lea Mayfield, or at Bonnaroo, you’ve caught the charisma, the heart, and the comedy, and it's likely you’ll come back for more.

This singer-songwriter, band leader, and Grammy nominated producer stepped out of the sideman shadows with his 2011 album "The David Mayfield Parade" his follow-up "Good Man Down" was self released and funded with a surprising successful Kickstarter campaign that more than doubled its initial goal of $18,000. On the heels of that success, Mayfield has partnered with Compass Records. A label that Playboy Magazine calls "Nashville's hippest alternative label"

STRANGERS, Mayfield’s first album with Compass, is a tour de force, stretching from the avant-garde to Mayfield’s musical roots, which are buried deep in the bluegrass tradition from a childhood of touring with his family’s band. Tracks range from the Celtic-inspired opener “Caution,” which features Mayfield’s deft ability in orchestrating complex instrumentation, to “The Man I’m Trying to Be,” a sharply honest song that is as dark and it is tender. Mayfield is truly a wordsmith, forging the mundane into the evocative in each track, most notably with “Ohio (It’s Fake),” whose innovative lyrics are propelled from acoustic beginnings into a pure pop finish, Mayfield’s trembling tenor rising above the grooving band.  With the release of Strangers, David Mayfield is clearly going places, fueled by a deadly combination of infectious energy and songwriting chops that only come around once in a blue moon.

David Mayfield grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. His knack for colorful performances was evident as a backing player in his sister Jessica Lea Mayfield’s band including their appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” He oozed personality on stage - a trait that makes him a natural frontman. He took his skills and personality when he joined the bluegrass outfit Cadillac Sky, playing sold out shows with British folk revivalists Mumford and Sons. Around then Mayfield began writing songs after hearing artists like Randy Newman and Simon & Garfunkel. Encouraged by his sister Jessica, & friend Seth Avett, to record his original material, Mayfield did just that, to much acclaim. Since that time he has toured almost non-stop. Conscious of not just being a musician, but an entertainer - something his father instilled in him in the family band - he certainly makes an impression live. But it’s the strength of his songwriting and musicianship, combined with that charm and personality that keep audiences consistently lining up to join the parade.

FEATURING:    THE NEALS

Tommy and Breann Neal are a husband-wife duo who have been making music together for almost 20 years. They are both central Illinois natives who grew up surrounded by music and cornfields. Over the years, their two voices have become one with their tight two-part harmonies. Their style bridges genres like indie-folk, rock, and alt-country for an unexpected sound from an acoustic duo.

Tommy Neal is a singer-songwriter who has been writing since he was a teenager, and has performed all over the US and abroad. His original tunes reflect his Midwest roots. His first album, "It's About Time," was completed in 2002, followed by commercial works for video and radio, as well as a whole host of original songs (some recorded, some not) yet to be released. His vocals and guitar provide the backbone for the duo.

Breann Neal fills in as the multi-instrumentalist of the group with background and lead vocals, keyboard, harmonica, mandolin and percussion.

Their live performances include a mix of original songs along with a selection of covers from artists like The Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, Nikki Lane, Tom Petty, and The Decemberists. But don't be surprised if you hear something from the Ozark Mountain Daredevils thrown in just to keep you on your toes.
