Ils étaient passés chez nous le 1er mai 2013. Ce fut un choc émotionnel intense car ces quatre jeunes gens nous offrent une musique acoustique de grande qualité dans une mise en scène déroutante (mais habituelle dans le Deep South) virevoltant autour d’un seul micro.
Le Blue-grass, cette musique rendue célèbre par le film « O Brother », vous fera danser sur place !
The musical prowess of this bluegrass band was unlike anything I’ve yet to encounter in the city of Chicago. It’s straight-laced, tight-knit, barn-burning bluegrass with enough vocal harmonization to make Del McCoury blush.
SOUND FUSE
The Henhouse Prowlers were well received in Nigeria, introducing the many audiences to bluegrass music and providing a taste of American culture. They performed with local musicians in Abuja and Lagos, and self-taught themselves a top Nigerian hit at the time. At each performance, their bluegrass version electrified the audience and brought hundreds to their feet, including students and adults alike. As cultural ambassadors, they set new levels of interaction with local audiences and musicians.

This bluegrass band has the right formula: heavenly harmonies on top of furious fingerpicking, trucking down the highway at 200mph.
