John Prine at John Anson Ford Theatre

Why see John Prine?

John Prine is back on tour!

If there was any justice in the world, John Prine would be a household name. Playing in the Chicago folk scene of the early '70s, Prine was plucked from obscurity by Kris Kristofferson, an endorsement which helped to land him his first recording contract. Bob Dylan is also one of his biggest fans, terming Prine's work "pure Proustian existentialism". He's a singer who trades in life's little details, imbuing everyday existence with a kind of romantic grandeur.

Now in his 60s, Prine is still going strong. It may be a while since his last record but he always seems to be on the road. He tends to tour with a very sparse backing band, leaving his words front and center, just as they should be.

Holding his own in Lala town

John Prine is a world treasure. I don't know a country talent that combines song writing, picking and vocals in one talent -- than he. I have followed him from the late '80s. Sam Stone, Hello in There, Magnolia Wind, the Speed of Sound of Lonliness -- Iris Dement, Bonnie Raitt. I have followed his voice down at least one octave. I don't understand how he is able to mix the poignant, humorous and off-kilter so artfully. I saw him at the John Ford Anson theater in LA 10/1. I can check off one more from my BL.slide into our sunset Not many of us get to do what we love doing as we set our angle of repose. ... Read more

Outstanding Performance

Durham got to experience a master Friday night. John Prine was simply outstanding! He had the concert-goers in the palm of his hand. The songs, the band and John’s song list was masterful. Sound was superb and what an addition with Fats playing “everything” to use John’s description. Do not miss this concert, a must see while he is performing so well. Thank you John for the evening, keep on trucking man! ... Read more
