Nashville, TN — Oh Boy Records is excited to announce “The Songs of John Prine,” a show benefitting Jessi Zazu of the band Those Darlins. To celebrate the re-release of the 2010 John Prine tribute record Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows, Oh Boy Records will be re-pressing the album (which includes Those Darlins’ rendition of “Let’s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian”) on vinyl and will host a night of music featuring Nashville musicians covering classic John Prine songs.
On July 27th at Basement East, audience members will hear renditions of the American-mainstays like “Angel From Montgomery,” “In Spite of Ourselves,” and “Paradise.” The lineup features artists inspired by the man himself with performances by Alex Caress, Amanda Shires, Andrew Combs, Andrew Leahey, Brothers Osborne, Caitlin Rose, Caroline Rose, Colter Wall, Cory Branan, Darrin Bradbury, Elise Davis, Elizabeth Cook, Holly Williams, Jason Isbell, Jon Latham, Kelsey Waldon, Larissa Murphy, Levi Hummon, Lilly Hiatt, Muddy Magnolias, The Nicholson Brothers, Paul Cauthen, and The Whiskey Gentry (+ with more to be announced).
This event is made possible by Hattie B’s, Flavor Catering, The Press House, and more. All ticket proceeds will benefit Jessi Zazu.
Nashville-based trio Those Darlins, comprised of Nikki Kvarnes, Linwood Regensburg, and Jessi “Zazu” Wariner, recorded and toured as a band for over a decade. While they played their last show in early 2016, the band’s last album, Blur The Line, continues to gain relevance and meaning. The LP’s closing song, “Ain’t Afraid” has now become Zazu’s platform and the slogan of her supporters.
