Forgottonia

Forgottonia is a musical journey through the people and places of rural Illinois, just as the last vestiges of the old “Forgottonia” slowly eroded away. The show combines storytelling and live music with images from award-winning rural photographer Tim Schroll, long known for his striking black-and-white photographs of rural Illinois. Vallillo shares the histories and backstories of these songs, which document, reflect, and validate the people, places, and characters of rural IL, reinforcing these communities’ sense of commitment and worth.
