SUMMARY:An Evening with Henhouse Prowlers
DESCRIPTION: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. HOW TO GO?  Thursday\, May 7th / Doors 7PM / Show 7:30PM  The Brightside — 905 E. 3rd St.\, Dayton\, OH  $20 General Admission (advance) | $25 Day of Show  All Ages | Reserved Tables Available \nhttps://eventvesta.com/events/142226/t/tickets

SUMMARY:JD Simo & Luther Dickinson
DESCRIPTION:Two of the most electrifying forces in modern roots music—Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars\, The Black Crowes) and JD Simo (Chris Isaak\, Jack White\, Beyoncé\, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis)—join together for a soul-shaking trio with powerhouse drummer Adam Abrashoff. Their chemistry is deep\, their grooves are dirty\, and their shows are a masterclass in high-octane\, roots-infused blues. Luther\, a four-time Grammy nominee\, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of North Mississippi Allstars and a brand-new album—proving his commitment to pushing Hill Country blues forward. JD\, meanwhile\, has built a career on fearless reinvention. In addition to touring with Chris Isaak\, he’s a key creative on the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere (directed by Crazy Heart’s Scott Cooper)\, where he worked closely with both Bruce and Scott\, supervised the music script\, coached lead actor Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)\, and contributed heavily to the film’s score and soundtrack. Their collaborative album Do The Rump! Has been making waves\, with lead single “Come On” hitting #1 on SiriusXM Bluesville. The sound is raw\, hypnotic\, and thrillingly alive—equal parts Hill Country trance\, psych-soul\, and electrified jam. These trio shows are rare. The music is greasy. And this is your chance to feel it live. Special local guests Strange Ranger will kick off this show at The Brightside in Dayton\, OH. HOW TO GO? Sunday\, May 17\, 2026 The Brightside (905 E 3rd St\, Dayton) Doors 6pm / Show 7pm $20 general admission advance – https://tickets.venuepilot.com/e/jd-simo-luther-dickinson-2026-05-17-the-brightside-music-event-venue-dayton-d36fb4 $25 day of show Please note – this is a standing show\, seating is not guaranteed Limited qty reserved tables available!
