Folk troubadour and beloved staple of the bluegrass festival scene, Chicago Farmer is heading into town this Saturday night to celebrate the release of his latest album, Flyover Country. Farmer will be playing at FitzGerald’s in Berwyn with The Fieldnotes, Jaik Willis, Charlie Harris, and Cody Jensen, and joined by Joseph Huber.
“Cody Diekhoff, aka Chicago Farmer, cites this 6th album as his best work to date, and it’s hard not to agree with that. . . . Probably most known as a folk singer, there’s plenty of country, roots and Americana to be found here, too. Diekhoff is a hell of a storyteller and an equally skilled musician, and his Midwestern blue collar anthems sound better than ever, as he again proves why he’s one of the best of the genre today.” Take Effect Reviews
