No matter where you come from, we have more in common than what divides us. That belief lies at the heart of Henhouse Prowlers. And they have put it to the test.

For this Chicago based quartet, making great music is only part of the story. As a band and as Bluegrass Ambassadors, they actively work towards a kinder and more connected world. Over the past twenty years, Ben Wright, Chris Dollar, Jon Goldfine and Jake Howard have travelled to places most touring musicians could never imagine visiting. Through collaborations with the US State Department and their own non profit organisation Bluegrass Ambassadors, they have brought their music to more than thirty countries across five continents.

Those countless encounters with people and musicians around the world have profoundly shaped their lives and worldview. Through workshops, storytelling and shared music making, they carry their message wherever they go. Many dreams have already come true, but these altruistic artists always keep their eyes on the future. Their latest album Unravel blends modern americana, traditional country and bluegrass, rich vocal harmonies and exquisite string work into a record that feels both grounded and forward looking.

They have crossed the Atlantic from Chicago to Rotterdam many times before, and each visit sparks something magical between band, audience and fellow musicians. Whatever form that magic takes this year, one thing is certain: it will be heartwarming, eye opening and deeply inspiring.
