"Chicago Acoustic Underground"

This is a working man's singer/songwriter. The strident tones of his voice will make you sit up and listen.-Chicago Acoustic Underground - Michael Teach


"Chicago Innerview Magazine"

To call him a folk singer or categorize Chicago Farmer as a singer/songwriter wouldn’t be wrong. It might, however, not accentuate his commanding poetic voice and passion behind his storytelling.-Chicago Innerview Magazine - Jay Gentile


"Homegrown Music Network"

"Chicago Farmer ripped through one wailing, emotive Dylanesque tune after another, rousing his audience with his country-boy aesthetic mixed with city-streets mentality. This man-of-pain, salt-of-the-earth, shut-up-and-listen-to-beauty artistic theme was painted all over him, with a glaze of comic wit that rose his lyrics and passionate playing that much higher.” Homegrown Music Network - Clara Rose
