This powerhouse Chicago string band quartet, The Henhouse Prowlers, brings us their own special brand of innovative bluegrass, which is aptly described as “New traditional” in that much of their material is original, yet it touches on classic bluegrass themes such as love, loss, work, regret, and death. With a performance style that's in keeping with the gritty Chicago bluegrass circuit circa 1955, they wear suits and share a single vocal microphone, weaving in and out in constant motion on stage. The effect is high energy, solid bluegrass that is pure entertainment.

The Prowlers have shared the stage with everyone from jamgrassers like Cornmeal, to true bluegrass pioneers like Earl Scruggs and Ralph Stanley. They tour extensively all over the Midwest, as well as Colorado and the West, playing clubs and festivals, listening rooms and house concerts. Their energetic live shows appeal to young and old alike, winning over audiences with a wide repertoire of much-loved standards to complement their own unique musical narratives.
