"If success can be measured by press clipping tonnage, the
cultish good will of devoted fans, and the die-hard respect of
his peers, John Prine is a superstar." – Rolling Stone
When Grammy Award winning troubadour John Prine hits
the road, the darkest corners and smallest joys get illuminated
by the light of his gravelly, utterly American voice, his way
with the plainest of language, and the vintage Guild and Martin
guitars he plays.
With a career that spans over 30 years, John Prine has
become one of the most revered singer-songwriters in the music
industry. His songs possess a special vision and unique quality
– something that attracted Bonnie Raitt to adopt "Angel from
Montgomery" as her own, Bette Midler to cover "Hello in There,"
and the numerous country artists such as Tammy Wynette and
Johnny Cash to release their versions of "Unwed Fathers."
His numerous recordings include his 1991 Grammy Award-winning
release The Missing Years, which featured appearances by
Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, and became one of his best
selling albums; the 1986 Grammy-nominated album German
Afternoons, the 1988 Grammy-nominated John Prine Live,
and the 1999 Grammy-nominated In Spite Of Ourselves, an
album comprised of classic country songs featuring duets with
Lucinda Williams, Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, and Patty
Loveless.
John Prine will be touring Eastern Canada along with lead
guitarist Jason Wilber and bass player Dave Jacques. Prine will
surely deliver an unforgettable show, which varies from a touch
of Nashville tinged ruckus to thoughtful songs that will break
your heart and mend it in the same breath.
