The Stan Rogers Folk Festival announces Level on the Level A Celebration of John Prine, kicking off Stanfest’s Mainstage shows, in Canso, Nova Scotia on Thursday, July 24, 7 p.m.
The show stars the John Prine Band, featuring John Prine’s faithful and long-time sidemen, Dave Jacques and Jason Wilber, along with musicians Kenneth Blevins and Fats Kaplin. The band will share memories from 25 years on the road with their one-of-a-kind friend and boss and perform his classic songs. The show will also feature performances by Adam Baldwin, David Francey, Dave Gunning, Jaimee Harris, Mary Gauthier, Matt Andersen, Mick Davis, Morgan Toney, Shane Pendergast, and Terra Spencer.
“One of the highlights of the festival over the last several years has been our stand-alone Thursday night concert,” says Steve MacIntyre, Artistic Director. “The passing of John Prine in 2020 left a big hole in the folk songwriting world. We are celebrating his life and music with a roster of festival favourites, backed by the very group he toured the world with. This is the Stanfest way to salute the man and his songs.”
