Steeped in the Southern style rock and roll\, and country music popular at the time\, and in that area\, he gravitated toward music from artists like Tom Petty\, Eric Clapton\, JJ Cale and Stevie Ray Vaughan. \nWhen Dan moved to Denver\, CO\, for college\, he signed up for guitar. From the very beginning\, he was introduced to the undiscovered worlds of jazz and classical. After years in rock and roll bands and jazz/classical ensembles\, and further influenced by artists like Chris Cornell\, Kimbra\, Tyler Childers and the music his favorite critics listen to: his kids\, these influences combined with what had already developed in him musically. A new expression came together that gives the listener memories of easy\, sunny days with their feet up\, smelling cut grass and an ice-cold beer within reach. \nRecently\, Bored Panda described Dan as\, “a professional singer-songwriter and his music is different\, original and sets him apart from the crowd. He brings a great variety of styles and tastes to his music that will not only demand your attention but keep you coming back for more.” \nNowadays\, listeners have told Dan they hear Lyle Lovett\, Jack Johnson\, Dave Mathews or “something Southern”. In 2023\, Dan recorded his first record as a solo artist titled Travelin’ Light. He submitted the record to The Rockford Area Music Industry (RAMI) for their 2023 Awards Ceremony and won Album of The Year. \nWith things going well\, and having a great time\, Dan has kept a busy schedule\, so there are a lot of opportunities to see him play what The Lake Geneva Regional News calls\, “his laidback brand of rock”. Stop by and enjoy the jazzy undertones and country hints that celebrate life’s beauty\, or ease its occasional edge.

Ticket link follows bios. \nJIM CRAIG came of age during the folk boom\, “listening to Pete Seeger and Dave Van Ronk\, but also more obscure musicians like Dock Boggs and Pink Anderson\, folks who were off the map but were rediscovered in the early ’60s.” He was a regular at the Green Dragon Inn\,  where we came to know and love him for his understated warm grace. Jim has guitar chops and a beautiful baritone voice\, and an interesting repertoire of songs. \nHe taught guitar at the Old Town School of Folk Music\, jammed with figures in the Chicago folk scene such as Eddie Holstein and Steve Goodman. He is the owner of Hogeye Music in Evanston. He is a gentleman. \n\nMARK DVORAK is a modern day troubadour who has never stopped performing\, writing and recording. He has been called “a folk singer’s folk singer” with “an encyclopedic knowledge of traditional songs.” His original songs are described as “wondrous” and “profound.” Though Mark often appears in theaters and on festival stages\, he is also at home in a more intimate setting. His concerts are a mix of the familiar and the new\, traditional folk and standards from the American songbook. He plays authentic country blues guitar and picks great old-time banjo. \nMark enjoys involving his audiences in sing-along songs\, just like The Weavers used to do\, and mixes in his own well-crafted and infectious originals. Mark has a refreshing\, down-to-earth stage presence\, and is a very engaging performer. He sings with a clear\, signature voice\, and he likes to joke around with the folks who attend his shows. Throughout the program he’ll interject personal anecdotes and add a touch of history or social context to the performance. \n“Masterful” Chicago Tribune \n“The real deal. His show is funny\, passionate\, intimate & unforgettable” Old Town School of Folk Music \n“One of a vanishing breed. Although all of us benefit from the tradition\, Dvorak is one of the few who keep it alive.” Utah Phillips \nAnd then there’s BILL CAMPLIN\, who can sing and play guitar too. Amazing \nDid I mention this will be a really fun in-the-round?

Candles are lit at the graves of loved ones\, offerings of food and drink left out for the Ancestors and bonfires lit throughout the countryside. Many of our modern day customs are based on Samhain including ghost stories\, Halloween costumes\, bobbing for apples\, and the jack-o-lantern.

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. \n“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. Diekhoff grew up in Delavan\, Illinois\, with a population less than 2\,000. His grandparents were farmers\, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. \nHe 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.” \nHe 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.
