Tommy Prine
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Tommy Prine's debut album "This Far South'' coming June 23, 2023, is not only a long-awaited introduction but a testimony to Prine's 20's and the loss, love, and growth that has defined them. Co-produced by close friend and kindred musical spirit Ruston Kelly and beloved Nashville engineer and producer Gena Johnson, the album is rich and dynamic, from cathartic jams to nostalgic storytelling.
The son of late songwriting legend John Prine, Tommy Prine grew up in Nashville surrounded by music, art and writing. As a child, he thought all parents were musicians, as his father "going to work" meant performing shows for adoring fans and writing songs. Tommy learned to play guitar by watching his father play, copying how his fingers moved, and inadvertently developing his own style. Summers in Ireland lent their inspiration, as did ten straight years camping at Bonnaroo. Prine's musical tastes became decidedly eclectic, spanning John Mayer, Outkast, Bon Iver, the Strokes and more.
