Songwriter Club at the Jack Kerouac House is a series bringing national and international touring artists, as well as musician outreach to the historic home of Jack Kerouac, in St.Petersburg Florida. There are very limited seating and capacity for this songwriter listening room series, as the artists perform in Kerouac's living room with the audience seated in the living room, and additional seating stretching out into the enclosed patio. Please join us for a night of songs, in this historic atmosphere.Chicago FarmerWhen taking on the moniker Chicago Farmer, singer-songwriter Cody Diekhoff aimed to not only showcase the dichotomy of his life and travels — growing up in the tiny Illinois farm community of Delavan, and calling “The Windy City” home for several years — he also wanted to honor his past through his uplifting, introspective melodies.“This is not your average ‘man with guitar.’ Chicago Farmer’s approach to solo folk music is traditional, but his soul &amp; energy are uncommonly powerful. Arriving with his classic acoustic guitar style is a voice smooth but broken-in that sounds wise beyond its years. He will stomp out a beat in leather boots to drive home a point and throw down a handsome harmonica solo to put a song over the top. The songs are about the places he’s been and the people he’s met, so local ideas are abound in this music from the heart.”- CBS Chicago“I love Chicago Farmer’s singing and playing and songs, but it’s the intention behind the whole of his work that moves me to consider him the genuine heir to Arlo Guthrie or Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. He knows the shell game that goes on under folk music... which is sacred to me. Chicago Farmer is my brother; if you like me, you’ll love him.” - Todd SniderWill Quinlan Considered by many the Songwriter Laureate of Tampa, Florida, Will Quinlan migrated from Texas and broke into the Florida scene in the 1990's via his local legendary band the Pagan Saints. With many name changes to follow, Quinlan's the Diviners won local and national accolades with their release Navasota.Your Host of Songwriter Club, Shawn KyleHost of Songwriter Club, Shawn Kyle is a multiple Best of the Bay Award Winner and 14x SXSW Austin official showcasing artist.
