Chicago’s Henhouse Prowlers and their nonprofit organization, Bluegrass Ambassadors, return to the Czech Republic this November for the inaugural Common Chords program. Their mission: to educate, perform, and, above all, honor the rich legacy of bluegrass in this remarkable country.
Join us on May 11th at Dank Haus in Lincoln Square as we delve into this vibrant tapestry of sound, creating new connections and rallying support to bring this extraordinary project to life. Music, libations, and cultural insight will be shared, along with an exclusive auction and in-depth overview of the program’s aim and teachings.
The Czech Republic has embraced bluegrass since the mid-20th century, infusing it with its people’s unique cultural touch. Inspired by the broadcasts that swept across Europe post-World War II, they crafted instruments and penned songs in their own language. These captivating melodies and the narratives behind them stand as a testament to the power of global unity through music.
