When an American band releases an album titled "Live From Kyrgyzstan," one thing is sure: this is one groundbreaking band. The foursome is mounting the stage some 200 times a year and has already toured more than 25 different countries. Yes, including Kyrgyzstan. The group's need to go off the beaten path is also reflected musically. The Henhouse Prowlers are known for their exceptional traditional bluegrass, in which they incorporate musical aspects from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. They ooze class, quality, resourcefulness and virtuosity. The main mission of the Chicago-based quartet is to teach people something and to inspire them, using the universal language called music. For good reason, they call themselves Bluegrass Ambassadors, and it's under that name that they build bridges between different cultures with educational programs, workshops and, of course, their music. The charming band has built up a solid reputation in their nearly twenty years of existence with their elegant songwriting, catchy melodies and instrumental virtuosity, embedded in uptempo drives and mid-tempo grooves and their exhilarating performance. Rotterdam is definitely preparing for another visit from these extraordinary bluegrass globetrotters.
