The Henhouse Prowlers
Chicago. A city known for its blues and its bluegrass. In the bluegrass history books, a pivotal stop among others, along the road to success for the Monroe Brothers and, in more current times, noteworthy as home base for the long popular Special Consensus. And now the Windy City serves as a critical intersection in the lives of four musicians, two who hail from Illinois and the others from as far and near as North Carolina and …upstate New York.
With a PBS series soundtrack already to its credit and a critically acclaimed sophomore recording, The Henhouse Prowlers have been barnstorming on to the red hot bluegrass scene since 2004. Not just another bluegrass band, the Henhouse Prowlers are adeptly positioning themselves for nothing less than success. Each member does double duty within the group, holding a business as well as musical post, making it a total collaborative effort.
Dedicated equally to tradition and innovation, The Henhouse Prowlers center their sound on that of the early, formative years of bluegrass, while they keep their pulse on today by covering contemporary topics in a largely original repertoire.
The Henhouse Prowlers wear the Bill Monroe mantle with spit and polish. They perform — and conduct media interviews — in suit-and-tie and work in a tightly choreographed, one-mic stage setting, which adds a dynamic dimension to their shows. Combining passion, confidence, and flair with instrumental and vocal prowess, The Prowlers deliver bluegrass with an edge.
Michael Jonas And Wayward Mountaineers
Formerly known as The Michael Jonas Band, Michael Jonas and Wayward Mountaineers is rooted deep in the tradition of bluegrass but is not afraid to explore the influences of Jazz, Rock, and World Music. The WMs have a fresh original approach to new acoustic music.
