The second installment of this three-part playlist series features its curators, Caleb and Jenna, further adventuring into the depths of their home state, Illinois. A true Midwestern state full of agriculture, join the travel chronicles as the duo drives throughout the Prairie State and harnesses the richness of Americana and singer-songwriters that have put parts of Illinois on the musical map.
Featuring Central Illinois legend Dan Fogelberg and Chicago-area native Andrew Bird, part two is full of variety. Ranging from blues to indie-rock, sit back and drive as each corn field turns into a blur and the lyrical melodies sung by some of the State’s greatest musical virtuosos fill the car speakers.

About the Curators
Kelch
Kelch finds himself constantly involved with audio whether it be for work, pleasure, or just because…Kelch is a true audio-fanatic. Spending his days into the radio booths of talk and music stations then coming home to enter into his private booth for podcasting; Kelch is entangled with audio each and every day.
Music has been a staple for the long-haired, Hawaiian shirt-wearing fellow who has been obsessed with artists such as Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, and Norah Jones since a young age.
Kelch's influences range from the beginning of Indie Rock in the depths of Britain to pure Americana and then some. Expect playlists full of spontaneity, mood shifts, and genreless intentions.
Jenna B
Music is at the center of everything I do. Whether I’m creating playlists, discovering new artists, or singing along in the crowd, you can usually find me at a concert (over 100 and counting!) or with headphones on, exploring sounds across every genre.
