The Songs of John Prine The COVID pandemic wreaked havoc on the music world in 2020. One of the most devastating moments came when the virus took one of America’s greatest singer-songwriters from us, John Prine, who died at age 73. With a Midwestern everyman’s eye, a wry comedic sensibility and a nearly unparalleled knack for wordsmithery, Prine was an influential legend in the country, folk and Americana realms. While it was great to see stars like Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Kacey Musgraves, Bonnie Raitt and Brandi Carlile gather for the posthumous special A Tribute Celebrating John Prine, the Gorge-adjacent Cave B Winery is bringing in family to honor the legend. John’s younger brother Billy and his band will play a collection of beloved Prine favorites while also telling the stories behind the songs and the man who wrote them.
