STONE COLD COWBOYS // The Stone Cold Cowboys aren’t just your typical bar band—they’re an authentic, world-class country music group made up of eight seasoned, professional musicians who have traveled the globe. Bringing over 25 years of experience and a passion for true country music, this is the most unique act to hit Central Illinois in decades! Over the years, the Stone Cold Cowboys have shared the stage with country music legends like Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Confederate Railroad, David Allen Coe, Sawyer Brown, Frankie Ballard, and Joe Nichols —a testament to their talent and dedication to the craft. If you’re a fan of classic country hits from legends like George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks, blended with the energy of Brooks & Dunn, Shania Twain, The Kentucky Headhunters, and more, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Shine up your boots, grab your best cowboy hat, and get ready to show off your line dancing moves! The Stone Cold Cowboys bring the heart and soul of country music alive with the smooth glide of the pedal steel guitar, the sweet and sassy notes of the fiddle, and the lively snap of the banjo. Add in electrifying guitars, rich vocals, and an irresistible beat, and you’ve got a show that’s guaranteed to leave you cheering for more. Don’t miss your chance to experience the Stone Cold Cowboys—a true country music experience like no other!

OVER EASY // Over Easy is a Central Illinois folk band built around acoustic instruments, close-up storytelling, and an all-original songbook. Their sets spotlight original material, as heard at events like the Peoria Music Live Takeover and acoustic shows at spaces such as Rage Club and local VFW gatherings, where they’ve become part of the emerging songwriter/folk circuit. Over Easy keep things simple and direct. They create acoustic-driven arrangements, lyrics up front, and a relaxed but focused live feel that fits small rooms, listening crowds, and daytime festival slots alike.

OUR MISSION // Blue Ridge Community Farm is a 245 acre working farm for adults and children with special needs located approximately 4 miles northwest of Chillicothe, Illinois. Currently, we offer educational field trips for special education and life skills classes. There is no charge for a school to come and visit the farm. Our field trips typically include interacting with our farm animals, music, crafts, hay rack rides (dependent upon the size of the group) and learning opportunities revolving around crops grown on the farm, animal care and general farm knowledge. We are home to ten alpacas, four donkeys, chickens, a horse and two golden retrievers. We also offer social events for adults with special needs all at no charge to those that attend. Some of our events include an annual square dance, cookouts and campfire sing-a-longs.
We do not take any government funding and intend to always be a completely self sustaining working farm. Our future programs and current events rely on private donations and fundraising efforts. Blue Ridge Community Farm is a registered 501 (c)(3) non profit organization and donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. We also always need and welcome volunteers and very much appreciate the support of our community! 🌱✨
