JOHN PRINE, 1946-2020
The Outpost in the Burbs and Montclair Film are teaming up to present a pair of linked events paying tribute to the late John Prine, in Montclair, on April 11.
At 4 p.m. that day, “You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine” will be screened at The Clairidge, with a question-and-answer session following. The film (see trailer below) documents a 2022 John Prine tribute concert featuring Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Bob Weir, Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakam, Kacey Musgraves, Steve Earle and many others.
Then, at 8 p.m., The Outpost in the Burbs will present a John Prine tribute concert — featuring Ted Leo, Laura Cantrell, Leslie Mendelson, Carolann Solebello and Sam Robbins — at The First Congregational Church.
Tickets to the two events will be sold separately, but there will also be VIP tickets that will include a concert ticket (with seating in the first four rows), a film ticket, and a commemorative posted signed by the concert performers.
Tickets will go on sale March 6 at 10 a.m. Visit outpostintheburbs.org or montclairfilm.org.
Prine — the singer-songwriter whose best known songs include “Angel From Montgomery,” “Hello in There,” “Paradise,” “Sam Stone,” “That’s the Way the World Goes ‘Round” and “Please Don’t Bury Me” — died in 2000, at the age of 73.
