News and Classical Music for northern Michigan
An all-star cast of Michigan musicians form the uber talented John Prine Tribute band, Prine Time. Each with their own musical ventures, they banded together last year for their shared admiration for the many musical works of master Jedi songwriter, John Prine. Every artist in Prine Time both sings and plays their primary instrument (guitars, bass, drums, mandolin, dobro), and being multi instrumentalists, the band loves to swap instruments from song to song throughout the evening’s show. Prine Time consists of Seth Bernard (Seth Bernard and May Erlewine, Airborne or Aquatic?, the Starlight Six, Founder of the Earthwork Music Collective), Michael Beauchamp Cohen (Red Tail Ring), Mark Lavengood (the Mark Lavengood Bluegrass Bonanza!, Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys), Dan Rickabus (the Crane Wives, Airborne or Aquatic?), and Max Lockwood (Big Dudee Roo, Seth Bernard, May Erlewine). John Prine is regarded as one of the most quintessential, modern, American songwriters and is the author of some of our favorite songs like “Grandpa Was a Carpenter”, “Fish and Whistle”, “Illegal Smile”, “Angel from Montgomery”, “Paradise”, “In Spite of Ourselves”, and so many more. Don’t miss a rich, diverse musical performance of John Prine classics with the all-star band of Michigan musicians, Prine Time.
