317 Main Presents: The Henhouse Prowlers
317 Main Presents: The Henhouse Prowlers
Come join us for a night of exceptional music as The Henhouse Prowlers take the stage at 317 Main Community Music Center.
Founded nearly two decades ago with the simple desire to play original and powerful bluegrass, this quartet now finds themselves at the intersection of performance, diplomacy and education.
Onstage, the group's enthralling performances give audiences a sense of how much they love what they do. On record – including their latest offering, 2023’s Lead and Iron, released via Dark Shadow Recording – the band explores their collective life experiences through songwriting and intricate instrumentation. While bluegrass is the undeniable foundation of the Prowlers’ music, the band bends and squeezes the traditional form into a keenly developed sound all their own.
The Prowlers have now been to more than 25 countries across the globe, working with the U.S. State Department and under their own nonprofit, Bluegrass Ambassadors, and incorporating music from Africa, Asia, the Middle East & more into their already robust repertoire of unique traditional American music.
On stage, in workshops and wherever they are, the Henhouse Prowlers find and spread the commonality we share as human beings through the universal language of music.

An Evening of Storytelling and Art with David Lone Bear Sanipass
317 Main is thrilled to host Mi’kmaq Native American Artist, David Lone Bear Sanipass, in the gallery for an evening of storytelling and art.
Artist Bio:
David Lone Bear Sanipass is an artist and storyteller from the Mi’kmaq Nation. His early years were spent traveling between Elsipogtog First Nation and Maine following the harvests. David’s parents survived the Canadian Indian Residential Schools. David is a survivor of the Sixties Scoop. His family settled at the base of a mountain in Northern Maine. For over forty years, David has traveled across the United States and Canada sharing ancient stories and teachings from his heritage. He was asked by his elders to share these stories not only with his own nation, but all people of all nations of the world. David is a Southwestern Association for Indian Arts juried artist in painting, photography, and jewelry. He has been painting for most of his life, creating his own style while recovering from a brain aneurysm in the late 90s. His favorite subjects include his family and his culture. He also designs and fabricates custom jewelry worn by people around the world. David is currently designing a proposal for a monument and park to be located in the city of Moncton, New Brunswick to honor the Mi’kmaq and Indigenous Nations of the region. He has been commissioned to create public art that accurately depicts the local native people and history in several locations in Maine. His extensive and ongoing research in history, his studies in the arts and traditions, and his work as a structural engineer, give him a unique perspective and ability to share with diverse communities around the world.
