The Jackson Theater is excited to host Tommy Prine for a live performance on Saturday, August 30 at 8 p.m.

Prine’s debut album This Far South (June 2023) was not only a long-awaited introduction but a testimony to his 20s and the loss, love and growth that has defined them. Co-produced by a close friend and kindred musical spirit, Ruston Kelly, and beloved Nashville engineer and producer, Gena Johnson, the album is rich and dynamic, from cathartic jams to nostalgic storytelling.

Celebrating the album’s first year, Prine released a deluxe version of the record on June 21, 2024, featuring reimagined versions, a special guest, and a brand-new song.

“Releasing my debut album changed so much in my life. The only things that stayed the same were my family, my pets, and my friends. Everything else changed drastically,” says Prine. “Once it has affected one other person, it has already begun its own life and will in turn change the creator’s life.”

Prine is currently headlining shows with his band across the country. Over the past year, he opened for Jason Isbell and Tyler Childers, was named one of Amazon Music’s 2023 Breakthrough Artists to Watch, and wrapped up the year by making his Grand Ole Opry debut.

The son of the late legendary songwriter John Prine, Tommy learned to play guitar by watching his father, mimicking the ways his fingers moved. In doing so, he inadvertently developed his own singular style. He sonically brings together a colorful patchwork of musical influences spanning Gillian Welch, Outkast, Bon Iver, The Strokes, and more. Lyrically, he explores existential questions and emotional experiences in his music.

All events take place at The Jackson Theatre, a fully restored historic venue located in downtown Jonesborough. Tickets and seat reservations are available now at thejacksontheatre.com. For more details, follow @thejacksontheatre on social media.
