Chicago based band Henhouse Prowlers release their long awaited album Lead and Iron with a special performance at the legendary Station Inn, Nashville.

Producer Stephen Mougin says: “Lead and Iron is the next step on a long adventure that is the Henhouse Prowlers. I truly enjoyed the entire album process with these guys, from preproduction song selection and arranging, to tracking. They were a joy to work with and have a clear vision for their trajectory as a group. Always eager to try new musical approaches and dig farther into their musicality, this record puts their talents on full display. I’m proud of Lead and Iron and I think folks are going to be listening to this album for years to come.”

Lead and Iron features eleven original songs from band members, with all four as featured lead vocalists. DSR label-mates Becky Buller and Laura Orshaw guest on twin fiddles for track five.

Henhouse Prowlers are Ben Wright  (banjo,cello banjo, vocals), Jon Goldfine (bass, vocals), Jake Howard (mandolin, octave mandolin, vocals) and Chris Dollar (guitar, vocals).
