Prowlers win Chicago Music Award!

January 25th, 2010

Best Country/Western entertainer of the year!  Thanks to everyone who voted and helped make it happen.  The ceremony was a blast (and unbelievable swanky).  The bands performance went over really well and some great connections were made.   CMA’s photo

A big shoutout (and thanks) to Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI

December 7th, 2009

The Prowlers nearly found themselves stranded this weekend.  Our battery light came on about 70 miles shy of Kalamazoo on Saturday. We nervously watched the battery slowly drain and crossed our fingers in hopes that it would hold out.

The van rolled into the lot with a shot alternator and no lights or blinkers.  Alas, within 30 minutes the fine folks at the brewery had located a humble handy-man.

“If you can find the part, I can fix it.” said our new friend Ryan Kramer.

We got a ride from his equally awesome girlfriend to the auto parts store and he worked in the freezing cold on our van while we played.   Near the end of the show he came in and quietly declared it fixed.

We rejoiced.

The moral of the story?  Drink Bells Beer.  They’re good people that make excellent beer.

Prowlers opening for the legendary Earl Scruggs this Weekend!

November 2nd, 2009

Not much more needs to be said about this.  The band is honored and excited to be the opener for both shows at the Old Town School of Folk Music.   This is the best place in Chicago for acoustic music.  The sound is incredible and the room doesn’t have a single bad seat.  There are a few seats left @ www.oldtownschool.org.   Do NOT miss this guy.  He is a living legend.  The show is this Saturday, Nov 7th.  7pm and 10pm
