Chicago Farmer

Chicago Farmer, the acclaimed heartland folk troubadour, brings his honest, soil-rooted songwriting to some of the Midwest's most beloved intimate venues. Known for poetic narratives that celebrate rural life, small-town America, and working-class grit, Chicago Farmer — the stage name of Cody Diekhoff — delivers performances that feel like conversations between old friends, rich with warmth, wit, and genuine Americana spirit. Join Chicago Farmer and The Fieldnotes for two unforgettable nights in the region. First, on Sunday, May 10, 2026, the historic Stoughton Opera House provides a stunning backdrop for an evening of timeless folk storytelling. Then, on Sunday, November 15, 2026, the legendary Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis opens its doors for another intimate and captivating performance. Both venues are renowned for their exceptional acoustics and deeply community-connected atmospheres, perfectly suited to Chicago Farmer's unadorned, deeply personal style. Whether you're a longtime devotee or discovering his music for the first time, these shows promise an evening of genuine connection. Expect fingerpicked melodies, plainspoken poetry, and a room full of people who understand that the best music tells the truth. Grab your tickets early — shows at venues this intimate sell out fast.
