Chicago's Henhouse Prowlers have been touring for the past 11 years with a sound inspired by the roots of bluegrass while branching out into a sound uniquely their own.

They have worked with the US State Department on four separate trips in 10 different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as Russia, and are touring throughout Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg this summer. Their most recent album, Still On That Ride, was released in 2015.

Chicago-based, Iowa-born singer-songwriter Susan Werner opted to forgo a career as an opera singer, choosing to dedicate herself to songwriting instead, building a reputation at jazz clubs, coffeehouses, and folk festivals along the Eastern Seaboard.

She has 11 albums to date, the most recent of which, Hayseed, is the fourth in a series of concept albums, and pays tribute to American agriculture and Werner's Iowa farm roots, with subjects such as farmer's markets, agrochemicals, climate change, drought, longing for a sense of place, and the movement towards sustainable agriculture.

Songwriter Jeffrey Foucault has taken, in his own words, "the small roads," building a brick and mortar independent international touring career of 10 studio albums, countless miles and critical accolades.
His wife, Kris Delmhorst is an American songwriter, singer, and instrumentalist. She has released six full length records on the respected indie label Signature Sounds, as well as a panoply of EPs, side projects, and collaborations. Her newest album, The Wild, to be released this October, is co-produced with Foucault, and features a band drawn from players they share long history with as bandmates and friends. The album merges Delmhorst's sophisticated melodies and hauntingly open voice with Foucault's lean aesthetic to deliver a darkly hopeful, fiercely wise new collection of songs.
