Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotes w/ClusterPluck @ Old Rock House

Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotes

Join us to celebrate the official launch of the new album from the acclaimed folk storyteller, Chicago Farmer (Cody Diekhoff). Backed by the Fieldnotes, he delivers honest, working-class Americana full of grit and heart. Hear the new tracks performed live for the very first time!  Lyrically driven, Chicago Farmer delves into the social and political issues of today’s world, taking it all in and putting it back out through music as a commentary on modern times in the Midwest. With his unfeigned and relatable approach, Chicago Farmer has earned a place in the heart of this generation’s rise of protest songs. He composes music written and sung by and for the working man, the “regular person”, bringing to mind modern day folk tales.
