John Prine, hailed as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation, had a knack for blending humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events with poignant social commentary and occasionally melancholy tales from his own life. Bob Dylan once described his work as “pure Proustian existentialism, Midwestern mind trips to the nth degree… And he writes beautiful songs.”
Join us for a celebration like no other, where we elaborate on the beautiful songs of one of the finest songwriters of our time. ‘In Spite of Ourselves’ gathers some top-notch Canadian songwriters and friends to revel in the stories and songs of the fabulous John Prine.
Get ready for an evening with Blair Packham (The Jitters), Bill Craig (The Irish Rovers), Kirsten Jones, and two-time JUNO nominee Johnny Max as they perform and present their favorite quirky John Prine songs. It’s going to be a night of musical homage and storytelling you won’t want to miss!
