The Sing-a-long
Lead by Chicago’s own singer-songwriter, folk, americana & bluegrass musicians, we choose the Prine standards, hidden gems & deep cuts for the fest. We have as much fun comming together as a music community as the folks that show up to sing their heart out. We’re all Prine fans, we all have our own Prine stories, the annual gathering is for a handsome johnny to go with it all.

Local Original Musicians
John Prine’s influence is alive and will in the hands each of these amazingly talented songwriters. These 11 Chicago musicians came together to lead the sing-a-long, and a sure to be involved in future Prinefests.
