Award-winning singer-songwriter Frank Viele will launch the 2026–27 indoor concert season at Bishop Hill Creative Commons on Friday, October 16, bringing his powerful blend of blues, rock, folk, soul and Americana to Bishop Hill.
Presented by Crossroads Cultural Connections, the all-ages evening will begin with an optional potluck dinner at 6 p.m., followed by the concert at 7 p.m. Guests who would like to participate in the potluck are invited to bring a dish to share. A suggested donation of $20 to $30 will be collected.

The October 16 performance marks the beginning of Crossroads Cultural Connections’ indoor concert season, which will continue at Bishop Hill Creative Commons through May 15.

His music is rooted in what he describes as New England blues rock, but his sound stretches well beyond any single genre. Drawing from rock, blues, folk, country, and soul, Viele pairs powerful vocals and expressive guitar work with songs that explore life, love, regret, resilience, and the passage of time.

Guests are invited to come early for the potluck, stay for the show, and help celebrate the start of another season of intimate live music at Bishop Hill Creative Commons.
