To honor and celebrate John Prine’s legacy, Prine’s family and Oh Boy Records have produced a virtual tribute to air later this month.

The event will raise money for several charitable organizations including NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) and Alive, whose Grief Center is providing free counseling sessions to anyone in Middle Tennessee who has had a family member die of COVID-19.
More details will be released at a later time on the lineup.
