John Prine + Tyler Childers

While working as a mailman in Chicago in the ‘60s and regularly performing at open mics, John Prine's simple and impactful folk music caught the ear of Kris Kristofferson, launching his career as a professional singer-songwriter. Several decades later, Prine's eloquent songcraft has garnered prominent fans such as Bob Dylan and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. At this special performance just north of his hometown, Prine will look back on his storied career and debut material from The Tree of Forgiveness—his first album of new songs in nearly 13 years. Contemporary country singer-songwriter Tyler Childers opens the show.
