Fourth Annual ‘You Got Gold: Celebrating The Songs Of John Prine’ Set For October

/by

The John Prine family has announced the fourth annual “You Got Gold: Celebrating the Songs of John Prine” event will take place in Nashville Oct. 9-12.

The benefit will feature performances at some of the city’s most legendary venues, including the Ryman Auditorium on Oct. 10 (John’s birthday), The Basement East on Oct. 9, The Bluebird Cafe on Oct. 9 and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater on Oct. 11. The event will showcase performances by an array of surprise artists, paying tribute to John Prine’s extraordinary legacy while highlighting the vibrant community he nurtured over the years, and the week-long celebration will also include various community-focused activities and events, details of which will be announced soon.

Proceeds from the week will benefit The Hello in There Foundation, which was established by John’s family as a way for his fan network, friends and family to celebrate his memory and generous spirit through a philanthropic commitment to community care. The foundation’s mission is to support marginalized communities and individuals who are often overlooked or discriminated against.

Tickets for the Ryman Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater, and Basement East shows will be available for venue pre-sale today (April 10) with general on-sale, including tickets for the Bluebird Cafe show, beginning April 11. Full details and ticket information can be found at yougotgold.johnprine.com/tickets.

“Five years without John has been both incredibly difficult and full of moments of gratitude,” says Fiona Prine. “The love and support from my family and the work we’ve done at the Hello in There Foundation have kept me moving forward. I’m proud to share that we’ve reached $1 million in grants to 71 community groups. As we approach the fourth You Got Gold celebration this October in Nashville, I’m reminded of how John’s legacy continues to inspire generosity, kindness, and love. Thank you for helping us keep his spirit alive.

Since its inception in 2021, The Hello in There Foundation has made a significant impact, having donated over $1 million in grantmaking. Last year’s “You Got Gold” event raised over $300,000 to support the foundation’s mission.
