A note from producer Fiona Whelan Prine, 2025
John passed in April 2020 there was an extraordinary outpouring of love from his many followers and fans all over the world. His life’s work -the catalog of songs he created -had a way of connecting to people using empathy, humor and truth to convey his understanding of the human condition. In helping to create this film my main goal was to honor that legacy in the most honest and authentic way possible. I wanted to create an opportunity for all of us to gather in remembrance, to celebrate how he had lived his life, and to honor his singular and unique talent.
On October 10, 2022, on what would have been his 76th birthday, we gathered at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville TN. Artists from every genre and generation spent two unforgettable nights together. We laughed, cried, shared stories and sang the songs that spanned John’s 50-year career. This film documents those nights and in doing so creates a permanent memorial to our well-loved and sadly missed John Prine. With my co-production and creative partners at Radical Media we captured the artists on stage and the wonderful sense of community, joy and gratitude shared among those who joined us in the audience at the Ryman. As Producer, my hope is that this film will extend the spirit of those nights to audiences everywhere, reminding them how vital, alive, and deeply relevant his songs are, and ensuring that they will be remembered and shared for many years to come.
