With many of their wildest dreams strung across more than two decades together, the Prowlers' sight remains fixed on the future.
It’s been 21 years well spent. The kinship between Ben Wright (banjo, vocals), Chris Dollar (guitar, vocals), Jon Goldfine (bass, vocals), and Jake Howard (mandolin, vocals) is palpable, the four having traveled to places most would never predict. Using these experiences as a foundation, there’s truly no limit to where this Chicago-based quartet will go – literally and figuratively.
Ever constant in the group's enthralling performances is their ability to showcase their passion for both their craft and our shared humanity. Each member skilled in storytelling, compelling songwriting and intricate instrumentation, they offer intrinsic artistic prowess, fervently building on one another's raw talent. Reverence for tradition coupled with curiosity and innovation lands the Prowlers in a category difficult to define but explosively intriguing around every bend.
To date, the Prowlers have toured 30 countries on 5 continents working with the U.S. State Dept and their own nonprofit, Bluegrass Ambassadors. The group's many life-changing encounters with people and musicians across the globe have shaped their worldview and bolstered the bridges they establish between cultures. Through all ages-friendly workshops, presentations, and a forthcoming documentary, they spread the familiarities discovered in unsuspecting corners of the world, broadcasting what they are certain of: we, as humans, have more in common than we don’t. Time and time again, music demonstrates that, with curiosity towards our fellow humans, beautiful connections can sprout.
For the Henhouse Prowlers, the work extends far beyond the stage – they are deeply committed to fostering a more compassionate world.
