Henhouse Prowlers at The Brightside

Wednesday, May 7, 2026 | Doors 7PM / Show 7:30PM

All Ages | $20 General Admission | Reserved Tables Available

Chicago's Henhouse Prowlers have spent 20 years crisscrossing the globe, including 34 countries on 5 continents, and every mile of it shows up in their music. Rooted in bluegrass and classic country but impossible to pin down, Ben Wright (banjo), Chris Dollar (guitar), Jon Goldfine (bass), and Jake Howard (mandolin) bring a four-part harmony and a world-worn perspective to everything they play.

Their latest record, Unravel, produced by Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band), is their most expansive yet — road-worn storytelling, flashes of modern Americana, and picking as ferocious as ever. But the real magic happens live, where their extensive songbook gets woven together with tales from the road, and bluegrassy takes on international tunes that might just be in a language you've never heard before.

As founding members of Bluegrass Ambassadors and partners of the U.S. State Department, the Prowlers are more than a band — they're proof that music builds the bridges words can't. Come hear what 20 years of chasing something beautiful sounds like.

For the third showcase of Club Cuts and for the first out of state headliner we have Detroit's Young Muscle taking the helm. This producer has developed a fresh take on left-field techno and his tracks are popping up in DJ sets around the globe. It's an absolute honor to have Young Muscle come to perform in our neck of the woods and it feels like an absolute dream to have someone so legit only live a few hours away.
For local support we have Dayton's very own Drut and Luke Tandy of Skeleton Dust Records opening up the night. Then to make things even gnarlier we have Teakup from Columbus who's absolutely perfect to hand things off to our main act. Finally Club Cuts host Barry Leonhard will close out the night.
