FREE! Classic Wisconsin Fish Fry with traditional rye bread, fries and coleslaw begins at 5pm at the Icehouse, live music starts at 6pm, and we’ll be serving your favorite Potosi brews on the Plaza. Seating first come, first served, and spectacular sunsets are complimentary!•••
With many of their wildest dreams strung across more than two decades together, the Prowlers' sight remains fixed on the future.
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.
You haven’t really experienced the band until you’ve seen them onstage. Audiences will hear tunes from their extensive songbook accompanied by an inspiring narrative and bluegrassy takes on international tunes from their travels, perhaps even in a language they’ve never heard before.
To date, the Prowlers have toured over 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 immersive workshops and presentations suitable for all ages, 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.
