A discussion – in celebration of Holly Gleason’s just released PRINE ON PRINE: Interviews & Encounters – about the man John Prine was, the power of his songs across more than five decades to illuminate the unseen, create compassion and awareness and still make people laugh when they needed to. Addressing both his impact as an artist, songwriter and social force, this very special conversation will look at the human being and the icon.
