John Prine playing Morris

Published 11:17 pm Thursday, February 9, 2012

Singer-songwriter John Prine will perform at the Morris Performing Arts Center in South Bend at 8 p.m. April 14.
Long considered a “songwriter’s songwriter,” Prine is a rare talent who writes the songs other songwriters would sell their souls for. Evidence of this is the long list of songwriters who have recorded gems from his extensive catalog, including Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon, Ben Harper, Joan Baez and many others.
He has immeasurable accolades, including two Grammys and the distinction of being one of the few songwriters honored by the Library of Congress and U.S. Poet Laureate.
Tickets are $59.50 and $49.50, plus applicable fees. All seats are reserved. Tickets are available at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 17, at the Morris Center Box Office, MorrisCenter.org or by phone at (574) 235-9190. Morris ticket outlets include Hammes Bookstore & Cafe, Eddy Street Commons, South Bend O’Brien Recreation Center and Super Sounds/TG Music, Goshen.
