Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotes w/ Jesh Yancey & The High Hopes
Globe Hall Presents Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotes with Jesh Yancey & The High Hopes on Thursday, March 10th — 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. “You can smell the dirt in the fields, hear the wind as it blows across the plains, and see the people that Chicago Farmer sings about. Each track captures a moment in time, whether for a person or a particular place. Imagine if a John Steinbeck short story had been written as a song, and this will give you a fairly good idea as to what Chicago Farmer accomplishes on his albums.” — HONEST TUNE
Donny Benet w/ BabyBaby + Fred Fancy
Globe Hall Presents Donny Benet with BabyBaby and Fred Fancy on Saturday, March 12th –“Jeffrey Lebowski, it is “The Dude”, Donny Benét, it is “The Don”. Quite simply.”Hailed and panned by critics as “Prince on a serious budget cut” Donny Benét is best described as the favourite nephew to Uncles Giorgio Moroder, Alan Vega and Michael McDonald. Residingin Sydney, Australia, Benét writes, performs and records entirely by himself at the renowned Donnyland Studios. Vintage synthesisers and drum machines are used exclusively to present Benét’s views on life, love and relationships through the power of song. Benét’s 2011 breakthrough album “Don’t Hold Back”, confused and intrigued many, establishing him as a cult figure in the Australian music scene. Several albums later the piece de resistance came in the form of the 2018 album The Don, which led to Donny embarking on numerous sold-out tours of Europe, North America and Australia. Mr Experience, Donny’s latest album, released amid the global pandemic, continued his rise as an international artist receiving countless strong album reviews. His North American shows will be the first time an international audience will be able to see these tracks performed live. So buckle up, Donny is ready and coming for you.

Indie 102.3 presents Paul Cherry w/ Dougie Poole, Sedona + Bobby Amulet
Indie 102.3 Presents Paul Cherry with Dougie Poole, Sedona and Bobby Amulet on Thursday, March 24 — Through pining comes purpose. Paul Cherewick, monikered Paul Cherry, makes adeparture from pining for an unrequited love on his debut LP Flavour toward the hungerfor creative fulfillment on Back on the Music. “Bouncing off the bottom: this pattern is theproblem…” is the melancholic opening line of the new album, a meandering meditationon the life of an artist: chasing inspiration, finding community, and the struggle tomaintain both. Throughout the buoyant, alright-on-the-outside tracks that make up hissecond album, Cherry staggers and stumbles back into love with his life and craft.Music becomes personified inside Tootsie Roll, becoming an ugly, grinning trenchcoated villain plucked right out of a vintage Max Fleischer cartoon, cooing to the listener,“You know you want me. Take me, take me,” harmonizing over his own voice. Almost asif through excess, inhibition and precise self-analysis, Paul Cherry may find quiet. In theluxuriant arrangement of the title track, Back on the Music he sings, “You love to play,but it don’t pay. Feels like you’re caught in check mate.” Not everything fits neatly withinthe lines of these songs, as in the lonely, wobbling flute melody that carries us out of ItHappens All the Time. Cherry shows us that often the path back to one’s self—disguised in this album as Music—is a wavering one.

The Greeting Committee w/ OSTON + Sophie Gray Night 2
Globe Hall Presents The Greeting Committee with OSTON and Sophie Gray on Wednesday, March 2nd — Comprised of Addie Sartino, Brandon Yangmi, Pierce Turcotte and Austin Fraser, the spirit of purposeful sharing has served as something of a lifeline for Kansas City-band The Greeting Committee. Formed in 2014, soon after Sartino and Yangmi got their start playing local open-mic nights, the band self-released their debut EP It’s Not All That Bad in fall 2015. The EP’s lead single “Hands Down” quickly became a breakout hit, paving the way for The Greeting Committee’s signing to Harvest Records when they were all still in high school.After making their Harvest debut with the Meeting People Is Easy EP in 2017 and the subsequent release of This Is It, the band spent much of the next few years on the road, with sold-out headline shows in major markets such as Chicago, Austin, New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. To date, they’ve toured with the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, Tennis, Hippo Campus, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise and taken the stage at leading festivals like Lollapalooza and SXSW, in addition to delivering the I’m Afraid I’m Not Angry EP in late 2019 and appearing in Netflix’s To All the Boys: Always and Forever in 2021. The coming months have a lot more in store from the band with their second album out on September 24th entitled Dandelion.

The Cactus Blossoms w/ The Still Tide – Presented by 105.5 The Colorado Sound
105.5 The Colorado Sound Presents The Cactus Blossoms w/ The Still Tide on Saturday, Feb 19th — “Hey baby, do you wanna take a trip with me? / I’ve got a feeling there might be asilver lining all around.” So begins One Day, the captivating new album from criticallyacclaimed Minneapolis duo The Cactus Blossoms. Written and recorded during theCOVID-19 pandemic, the record explores the tension between optimism and despairthat’s defined much of the past few years of American life, examining the power (ornaïveté, depending on your perspective) of positive thinking in the face of chaos anduncertainty. The songs here are tender and timeless, with straightforwardarrangements centered around brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum’s airtightharmonies, and the performances are warm and intimate to match, delivered with asoulful, ’70s-inspired palette of playful Wurlitzer, breezy guitars, and muscularpercussion.Hailed as “the Twin Cities’ most beloved new traditional-country act” by TheMinneapolis Star Tribune, The Cactus Blossoms broke out nationally in 2016 with theirJD McPherson-produced debut, You’re Dreaming. Dates with Kacey Musgraves, JennyLewis, and Lucius followed, as did raves from the New York Times and NPR, whopraised “the brothers’ extraordinary singing.” The band was further catapulted intothe spotlight in 2018, when David Lynch tapped them to perform in the return of TwinPeaks, and continued to build on their success with their 2019 sophomore LP, EasyWay, which led Rolling Stone to laud the duo’s “rock-solid, freak of geneticsharmonies.”
