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.
Join us on August 18 for a lecture and book signing with author Matt Fitzsimons. The book recounts the remarkable journey of Herrero Delgadito, often credited as the first Navajo silversmith, and principal headmen during the first 20 years of U.S. colonization. Delgadito was a primary target of Lt. Col. Kit Carson’s scorched-earth campaign of 1863-64, and went on to sign the Treaty of 1868 with Lt. Col. Samuel Tappan. We’ll explore how the war against the Navajo Nation divided these two famous commanders of Fort Garland, and tested America’s commitment to the abolition of slavery.

Spaceface is a self-described “Retro Futurist Dream Rock” (but you can call them psychedelic-pop) band from Memphis, TN and Los Angeles, CA, active since 2012. Always eavesdropping on the Universe whispering its chaotic will,
the groovy bunch harnesses the transcendent pulse of the spacetime continuum into catchy songs that whirl and twirl, bend and stretch, attract and propel.Their unique alloy of dream-pop, funk rock and post-disco, charged by the sun, ultimately shines way past our collective bedtime, akin to an aglow-in-the-dark Slime Science Lab kit.
The project’s founding members include Jake Ingalls (also of The FlamingLips), Matt Strong, Eric Martin, and Daniel Quinlan, but the lead research team recently enrolled Los Angeles-based musical mind, Katie Pierce from pierced, with whom sonic experiments continue. Ultimately, Spaceface’s goal is to acknowledge the blurred pain that lurks in the corners of one vision on a day-to-day basis while providing a brief escape for anyone who needs or desires it. In light of years of thorough research (or a dream to that effect) that have confirmed music, as an art form, to be a potent medicine for both your mind and your feet, the psych rockers abide.
Over the course of eight years, the collective has toured all over the United States, as well as Canada, with stops at international festivals such as SXSW, Desert Daze, Canadian Music Week, Treefort Music Fest, Hangout MusicFestival, God Save The Queen City and Distorsion Psych Fest. Always equipped with a state-of-the-art light show and/or projectors, sometimes accompanied by weirdish stage props and/or gadgets, the ever-evolving American act provides their dedicated following with thrill-inducing D.I.Y. performances that only get crazier as they perfect their experimental craft.
Since forming, Spaceface has offered timely releases that include a self-titled EP, a full-length album entitled Sun Kids, as well as a small zoo of singles and remixes featuring notable collaborations with artists such as Okey Dokey, Julianna Barwick, Mikaela Davis, Julien Baker, Penny Pitchlynn(Broncho), Phantogram, and Matt Duckworth of The Flaming Lips. The collective is also known for working with notable producers Calvin Lauber of ArdentStudios/Young Avenue Sound in Memphis, TN, and Jarod Evans at Blatch WatchStudios in Norman, Oklahoma, the latter co-producing with Jake, the most recent single addition to the group’s catalog: “Panoramic View”, released in October of 2019.
This latest musical broadcast was the result of Jake and friends spending several months at Blackwatch Studios in 2019, working with Jarod to write and produce new material. The objective remained the same: to offer an innovative interpretation of psychedelic rock, blending transparent ’70s references with striking modern indie and pop-rock elements. After months of test and trial, Spaceface is revving up to release a slew of beautiful musical oddities ranging from dancy indie ballads to modern disco anthems. This collection of postmodern dance floor scorchers promises to be sonic stardust to psych aficionados, what intergalactic transmissions are to stargazers.
After recently working with SixTwelve, an Oklahoma City education non-profit, to assist in the production of a fundraising album with several local OKC musicians, Spaceface is back with “Happens All The Time”, a polymorphing disco single, out via Mothland on June 8th, 2021. This new title should absolutely please fans of Beck, Tame Impala and MGMT.
Jack Dunlap & Robert Mabe have been touring the country together since 2019; though collectively have performed and recorded with the likes of Larry Keel, Gina Furtado, Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, Scythian, Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, Bud’s Collective, The Fly Birds, Dry Mill Road, Old Town Flood, Shannon Bielski & Moonlight Drive, Tim and Savannah Finch and The Eastman Stringband, Lonesome Highway, Circa Blue and Jakobs Ferry Stragglers, to name a few. They have also graced prestigious stages such as The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Carnegie Hall in New York City, Lied Center for Performing Arts in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Hamilton in Washington, DC and Forbes Center for the Performing Arts in Harrisonburg, VA. Both masters of their instruments, they play a mix of original tunes, classic bluegrass numbers, jazz favorites and covers anyone would recognize. With roots planted firmly in bluegrass, they stretch their sound in ways that all audiences will enjoy and leave the performance wanting more.
