See John Prine Wednesday, March 26th at the Capitol Center for the Arts
With special guest Sarah Jarosz

Some four decades after his remarkable debut, John Prine has stayed at the top of his game, both as a performer and a songwriter. Recently honored at the Library of Congress by the US Poet Laureate, he has been elevated from the annals of songwriters into the realm of bonafide American treasures. Long considered a “songwriter’s songwriter,” Prine is a rare talent who writes the songs other songwriters would sell their soul for. Evidence of this is the long list of songwriters who have recorded gems from his extensive catalog, including Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, The Everly Brothers, Carly Simon and Joan Baez.
