"Diplomacy isn't just for diplomats."
That's according to the bluegrass band, the Henhouse Prowlers. The band has traveled to more than two dozen nations through its non-profit arm, the Bluegrass Ambassadors.
The goal is to use the common language of music to promote cross-cultural collaborations, breakdown misconceptions and misunderstandings, and create a more empathetic world.
As the band passes through Rochester, they join us on "Connections" to discuss the impact of their work and to play some music.
In studio:
- Ben Wright, banjo and vocals for the Henhouse Prowlers
- Jon Goldfine, upright bass and vocals for the Henhouse Prowlers
- Jake Howard, mandolin and vocals for the Henhouse Prowlers
- Chris Dollar, guitar and vocals for the Henhouse Prowlers
