Billy Prine & The Prine Time Band Present: Songs Of John Prinew/ Scarlett Egan
$33, $45
Doors: Jun 1 2023 7:30 PM
Billy Prine is a natural-born storyteller just like his late, great brother John Prine was a natural-born songwriter. John was a great communicator of the human experience whittled down to the best words. His big, little brother, owner of a rich, booming voice yet full of subtleness, is one of the finest orators you’ll ever hear – also choosing just the right turn of phrase.
During these concerts celebrating John’s life in song, Billy will tell stories about or surrounding some of John’s most beloved songs before leading his band through his version of John’s timeless masterpieces. As an example, fans will get to hear the first time John played his classic song “Paradise” for their father as the family sat around the kitchen table.
Songs are stories, novellas, if you will, and stories often become songs. It is only fitting that in the course of each show during this tour, that Billy relates – as only he can – the stories that surround the songs of his dear brother John.
Moving to Nashville one day is a big dream for musicians from all over the world, including Scarlett Egan from Heidelberg, Germany. From an early age, she was exposed to American Country and Folk music as her parents had their own touring Country band, which she joined as a teenager. She built Nashville connections backing up artists such as Paul Overstreet, Billy Yates, Daryl Singletary, Deborah Allen and Brent Mason as a singer, guitar, and bass player. At 19, with money saved from her shows, she flew to Nashville to record her first original Country album with some of Nashville’s top studio musicians.
After touring heavily opening for acts like Toby Keith, Albert Lee, Chely Wright and Asleep At The Wheel, she decided to get a music degree and began studying Jazz back in Germany. After finishing her studies, she packed her bags and bought another ticket to Nashville for three months. Seven years later, she is still in Nashville honing her songwriting craft.
Scarlett’s songs are refreshingly genuine, clever and beautifully heartfelt. Her new EP The Next Man Who Loves Me is a collection of songs she wrote about the path of coming out of old unhealthy relationship patterns. She is a natural entertainer who catches every audience's attention with her humor, ease and grace.
