We lost John Prine to coronavirus complications back in April and there have have been a steady stream of tributes ever since. John’s family and Oh Boy Records are putting together a tribute of their own, a streaming event titled “Picture Show: A Tribute Celebrating John Prine” that will happen Thursday, June 11 from 7:30 – 9 PM Eastern. No other details have been shared but they ask that we all save the date.

Some of the previous tributes include Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy covering “Please Don’t Bury Me”

Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires covering “Angel from Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” and “Clocks and Spoons”
