Henhouse Prowlers in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Prague

Having received an email that the Henhouse Prowlers would be visiting Europe for shows across Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and one in Prague I thought that I should find out more about the band rather than just give you all a list of dates and what a surprise I had!

I found an article on the PRI website called 'How a Chicago bluegrass band rocked Nigeria's music scene' - read the full article here. To summarise, the Henhouse Prowlers went on a state-funded month-long tour in Africa as part of American Music Abroad (an organisation which fosters cross-cultural connections between American musicians and global audiences). They were subsequently invited back by the American Embassy in Nigeria where they covered a popular Nigerian contemporary song and ultimately performed the song with the original artist - Peter Okoye - at a reception in the US Embassy in Abuja. Bluegrass: the music with no borders.

Here are Henhouse Prowlers performing with local musicians in Uganda.
