In Forgottonia, Chris Vallillo draws on 35 years of original material to tell the story of West Central Illinois, an area that has been lovingly referred to as "Forgottonia." The show combines storytelling and music with images from award-winning rural photographer Tim Schroll, long known for his striking images of rural Illinois.
Chris Vallillo is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a natural affinity for American roots music. A master of bottleneck slide and fingerstyle guitar, he weaves original, contemporary, and traditional songs and narratives into a compelling and entertaining portrait of the history and lifestyle of the Midwest.
