Ravinia Festival to Pair Roots Concert With Farmers Market on July 29

Summer Music Venue to Host Local Food Vendors for 2nd Year in a Row

On July 29, the Kody Norris Show brings its folk and bluegrass roots with "the flair of vaudeville" to the Ravinia Festival in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park for an event that pairs music with a farmers market featuring local food vendors.

A number of Chicago region farmers markets enlist local musicians to entertain visitors as they shop for delicious locally produced food. On the other side of the coin, Ravinia Festival in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park is a music venue that, for the second consecutive year, is hosting vendors from the nearby Ravinia Farmers Market (an independent operation).

So reports Natural Awakenings Chicago in its July issue:

Ravinia Festival will host the second annual Rooted in Ravinia on July 29 in Highland Park, transforming the festival grounds into an evening marketplace featuring Ravinia Farmers Market vendors and live music. The evening event will include performances by local favorites Railheart, blues guitarist Duke Tumatoe and headliner The Kody Norris Show, along with fresh produce, baked goods, picnic-ready food items and handcrafted items from market vendors...

The Kody Norris Show is a quartet rooted in North American folk music and traditional bluegrass with an original performance style. The group’s show tips a hat to the traditions of Bill Monroe, the showmanship of Jimmy Martin, the harmonies of the Stanley Brothers, the spirit of the Grand Ole Opry and the flair of vaudeville.
