When I Get to Heaven — A John Prine Livestream Tribute

Last week the world lost one of its greatest songwriters, John Prine, due to complications from COVID-19

Prine’s passing is not something we are easily coming to terms with. And though celebrating him in the wake of his passing is not something we hoped we would be doing this weekend, it’s something we feel we must do nonetheless. This unequivocally gifted songwriter left us too soon, but not before acting as an inspiration to innumerable musicians and fans during his career.

On Saturday night, join us on The East Live at Home for When I Get to Heaven — A John Prine Tribute, and ode to this country-folk legend. Hosted by Matt Steele & Devin Fox of Steele Fox, the evening will be filled performances of John Prine’s songs by a handful of musicians who have all been influenced by him during their careers.

Mark Phillips, a marketing specialist at the PEI Potato Board, which represents all the potato growers on Prince Edward Island, and Peter Cann, of Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys, lead the charge. The pair reached out to some friends to help get their message across.
