BISHOP HILL — Crossroads Cultural Connections will present acclaimed southern songwriter and performer Adam Hood, with special guest Rye Davis, live in concert at Bishop Hill Creative Commons on Saturday, Nov. 15.
For more than a decade, Adam Hood has been a revered figure in the Americana and country scenes — a “songwriter’s songwriter” whose work bridges country, soul, and American roots music. The Alabama native’s songs have been recorded by Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Brent Cobb, Anderson East and Lee Ann Womack, among others.
A gifted performer as well as a hitmaker, Hood’s own albums — including “Welcome to the Big World” and “Somewhere in Between” — showcase his ability to turn blue-collar storytelling into something both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Opening the evening is Rye Davis, a rising modern-day troubadour from Pig, Ky., whose smooth, distinctive vocals and heartfelt songwriting carry on the tradition of true country storytelling. With a warm stage presence and a style that blends classic country sincerity with contemporary flair, Davis has been winning fans across the country as a torchbearer for authentic American music.
The evening begins with an optional community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. (bring a dish to share if you’d like to join), followed by the concert at 7 p.m. This all-ages show encourages a suggested donation of $25–35, with all proceeds going to the artists.
