Chico Schwall
May 26, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Folksinger, songpoet and multi-instrumentalist Chico Schwall returns to the Spencer Creek Grange on May 26th to help kick off the 2018 Market Season.
Chico has sung at Labor gatherings, played in pit bands, directed folk song camps for kids, designed music for plays, fiddled for contra dances, guested with orchestras, released three albums of original music and performed at festivals, clubs and venues of every stripe.
Born in Illinois, currently resident in Oregon, he rambles the Northwest with the Low Tide Drifters, hosts a weekly Irish music session, curates a concert series called “Chico Schwall’s American Roots,’ teaches Everything with Strings at the Shedd Institute for the Arts and travels, mostly by rail, to sing and play all over the country.
His songwriting reflects his colorful musical upbringing, and suggests that there IS enough to go around, that we CAN figure out how to make it work better, that history matters and that hearts can heal.
