About John Prine Songs & Souvenirs with Dave Jacques & Jason Wilber
A big old goofy evening with John Prine's faithful long-time sidemen, Dave and Jason. If you're a Prine fan, you'll love hearing them share memories of their beloved, one-of-a-kind friend and boss, along with some of John's classic songs. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Hello In There Foundation.
About Jason Wilber

Jason Wilber’s latest record, Time Traveler, plays like a radio signal emanating from some distant outpost. Folk music from the future, with themes at once timeless and timely. Wilber strums stories from space stations and post-apocalyptic bunkers, alongside down to earth parables on the mysteries and truths of life. Wilber has had plenty of time to ponder the day dreams and fantastic journeys that wind up in his songs. For 24 years he logged countless hours gazing out the windows of planes, trains, busses and cars while on the road with country/folk icon John Prine.
“I was 26 when I started playing guitar with John Prine. During the summer Time Traveler was recorded, I turned 50. I had been playing with John essentially my entire adult life,” Wilber says. “John and his wife Fiona, their boys, the band and crew, they’re like family to me. I love them all, and I loved working with them. It was a special gift to stand beside John all those years and watch what happened between him and an audience. I can’t deconstruct it for you, or explain exactly why it was so brilliant. But I can tell you that something amazing was happening. There’s something about John’s music and his performance of it that touches people deeply. It’s very special, and it was a pleasure and a joy to get to be a part of it for so long.”
