“I’m standin' on the corner, on the coldest of nights; singin' you can light a million candles, with just one candle’s light. I harmonize with screamin' tires, they sound just like my voice; I’m feelin more inspired to make some more noise” –Chicago Farmer

Chicago Farmer will continue performing with Ed Anderson (Backyard Tire Fire) every Wednesday throughout December at Louie’s in Bloomington. These Wednesday’s have been a blast and so well received that we’ll be extending them through this month. It’s been a pleasure and it has confirmed our feelings that Ed Anderson is one hell of a songwriter! Wednesdays @ Louies 9:30pm (2303 E Washington St.
