Two years, six months and three days after his death, one of America’s most celebrated songwriters, John Prine, had his life celebrated on what would have been his 76 birthday at the Ryman Auditorium in his home city of Nashville, Tenn. The tribute concert featured some of the most renowned musicians in the country, all of whom were, without a doubt, inspired by his life’s work.
Monday night’s gathering was a part of a weeklong celebration for Prine billed as You Got Gold Celebrating the Life & Songs of John Prine, which included six sold-out shows throughout The Music City hosted by his family and independent label, Oh Boy Records.
