Made in Chicago Ep5: Home-Town Feat. David Unlayao

Event Date: Thursday, September 25 · 7 - 10pm CDT. Doors at 6:30pm

Made in Chicago: Episode 5 – Home-Town. We’re exploring what it really means to have a ‘home-town’—not just as a place on the map, but as a feeling, a culture, and a community. And for first-generation Filipino-Americans like David, that idea of home can be layered, complex, and deeply personal.

Join us for a special evening with David Unlayao, The Filipino Cowboy, as he brings his Nashville storytelling and country-pop sound to Chicago’s Guild Row. Fresh off a main stage performance at The Long Road Festival in the UK and named to Apple Music’s Color Me Country Class of 2025, David blends his Filipino heritage with modern country music, creating a unique and powerful live experience.

Come celebrate music, culture, and community - whether you’re a country fan, part of Chicago’s vibrant Fil-Am and AAPI communities, or just love discovering new artists. This show is about connection, stories, and a whole lot of heart
