SUMMARY:Dallahan Returns to the U.S. for First Tour in a Decade
DESCRIPTION:Bishop Hill Creative Commons is proud to present Dallahan in concert on Friday\, January 16th\, marking the band’s first U.S. tour in ten years. The evening will begin with an optional community potluck dinner at 6:00 PM (bring a dish to share if you’d like to join)\, followed by the concert at 7:00 PM. This is an all-ages show\, with a suggested donation of $20–30\, all of which goes directly to the artists. \nForged out of the traditional music scenes of Scotland and Ireland\, Dallahan have spent more than a decade carving out a bold\, genre-defying sound influenced by the Balkans\, North America\, and beyond. Their music blends deep traditional roots with restless creativity\, resulting in a live show known for its stunning virtuosity\, dynamic arrangements\, and global perspective. \nThe band—Jack Badcock (guitar\, vocals)\, Ciaran Ryan (banjo)\, Andrew Waite (accordion)\, and Benedict Morris (fiddle)—burst onto the international stage with their 2014 debut When The Day Is On The Turn\, hailed by fRoots as “the most exciting Irish music I’ve heard in a long time… Lúnasa for the new generation.” What followed was extensive touring across Europe\, North America\, and beyond\, with appearances at major festivals including Celtic Connections (Scotland)\, Milwaukee Irish Fest (USA)\, Woodford Folk Festival (Australia)\, and many more. \nDallahan quickly earned critical acclaim\, receiving the Emerging Excellence Award from Help Musicians UK and multiple Album of the Year nominations at the Scots Trad Music Awards. Their follow-up releases—Matter of Time (2016)\, Smallworld (2019)\, and Speak of the Devil (2023)—document a band continually evolving while remaining grounded in tradition. Along the way\, they’ve performed in 25 countries\, collaborated with artists ranging from Dougie MacLean to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra\, and built a devoted international following. \nNow\, after a decade away from U.S. stages\, Dallahan returns with a sound that is seasoned\, adventurous\, and unmistakably their own. This concert offers a rare opportunity to experience one of the most compelling contemporary folk bands in the world—up close\, in an intimate setting. \nEvent Details:\n📍 Bishop Hill Creative Commons\, Bishop Hill\, IL\n🗓 Friday\, January 16\n🍽 Optional Potluck/Social Hour: 6:00 PM\n🎶 Concert: 7:00 PM\n💵 Suggested Donation: $20–30\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 All Ages Welcome \nFor tickets and more information please visit xroadscc.org.

SUMMARY:Chloe Kimes to Perform in Bishop Hill
DESCRIPTION:Crossroads Cultural Connections is pleased to present Chloe Kimes in concert at Bishop Hill Creative Commons on Wednesday\, January 28. The evening will begin with an optional potluck dinner at 6:00 PM (guests are welcome to bring a dish to share)\, followed by the concert at 7:00 PM. This is an all-ages show\, with a suggested donation of $20–30\, all of which supports the artist. \nChloe Kimes has quickly become one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary folk and alt-country. Her rise reached a turning point after a live performance of her song “Coors Light” at WDVX’s Blue Plate Special in Knoxville went viral\, amassing more than 4 million views across social media in just one week. Responding to overwhelming demand\, Kimes moved swiftly—recording the studio version at RCA Studio A with producer Phillip Smith and releasing the single within weeks of its online debut. \nRooted in the songwriting traditions of John Prine\, John Hartford\, and Tom T. Hall\, “Coors Light” radiates joy\, gratitude\, and authenticity. Driven by a ripping mandolin and a classic country lineup—pedal steel\, upright bass\, acoustic guitar\, and drums—the song has drawn in countless new listeners\, many commenting\, “I never liked country music until I heard this.” \nBorn and raised along the lakeshores of northern Michigan\, Kimes grew up immersed in folk festivals\, family harmonies\, and rural back roads. She built a devoted following by touring small Michigan towns from the age of fourteen before relocating to Nashville in 2016 to pursue her career full time. Since then\, she has emerged as a defining voice of a new generation of folk-singing troubadours—pairing an old-soul approach to storytelling with the energy of a modern alt-country band. \nKimes released her self-titled debut album in 2022 to wide acclaim\, earning comparisons to Lucinda Williams\, a spot on NPR Music’s Top 10 Nashville Artists on the Rise\, and Listener’s Choice Album of the Year honors from WYCE Radio’s Jammie Awards. Following in the footsteps of fellow Michigan-to-Nashville artists\, she continues to forge a powerful\, genre-bridging sound that is resonating with audiences nationwide. \nBishop Hill Creative Commons invites the community to experience Chloe Kimes’ powerful songwriting and dynamic live performance in an intimate setting that emphasizes connection\, listening\, and shared experience. \nEvent Details:\n📍 Bishop Hill Creative Commons\, Bishop Hill\, IL\n🗓 Wednesday\, January 28\n🍽 Optional Potluck: 6:00 PM\n🎶 Concert: 7:00 PM\n💵 Suggested Donation: $20–30\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 All Ages Welcome \n  \nFor tickets and more information please visit xroadscc.org.
