The new documentary You Got Gold – A Celebration of John Prine is currently in the midst of a week-long engagement at Quad Cinema in New York that kicked off Nov. 28.

You Got Gold is a tribute to the legendary songwriter’s life and music and was filmed at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Produced by RadicalMedia and Oh Boy Pictures and distributed by Abramorama, the documentary features exclusive interviews and performances by Brandi Carlile, Kacey Musgraves, Tyler Childers, The War and Treaty, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Bonnie Raitt, Dwight Yoakam, Jason Isbell, Lyle Lovett, Allison Russell & JT Nero, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Milk Carton Kids, The Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and more.

The film world premiered at the Nashville Film Festival to a sold-out audience last month. You Got Gold will screen across North America through the remainder of the year and into 2026, with more dates added each week. Fiona Whelan Prine will participate in Q&A events at upcoming screenings in Arlington, Massachusetts, on Dec 3, Chicago on Jan. 14 (with Jack Prine), Columbus, Ohio on Jan. 22, and New Orleans on Jan. 24.

You Got Gold began as a memorial concert series organized by Fiona Whelan Prine to celebrate her late husband after he passed from COVID-related complications in April 2020. The inaugural event brought together artists, friends and family to share behind-the-scenes stories and perform classics, honoring Prine’s enduring legacy. Oh Boy Pictures and RadicalMedia captured the special magic of this annual gathering by documenting the first concert in October 2022.

“When John passed, we couldn’t mourn together in the way we and his community needed to,” says Fiona Whelan Prine. “This film documents that long-awaited moment when we finally came together at the Ryman—John’s favorite stage—to honor him with his songs, music, stories and love. I’m grateful to everyone who shared their talent and their hearts to celebrate John’s legacy, and I’m thrilled that audiences everywhere will now have the chance to experience this special night.”

Jon Langston.

Jon Langston will hit the road next spring on his headlining “The Thing About Me Tour.” Wolf Mahler, Brian Fuller and Micah Fletcher will each join on select dates.

The 19-date run will hit Texas, the Carolinas, Indiana, California and more. Ticket information will be available soon.

Langston will also release his new song, “Thing About Me” this Friday (Dec. 5). The track leans into themes of self-reflection and growth.

“This music feels like the most ‘me’ thing I’ve ever made,” Langston shares. “I wanted to write something real—something that tells the truth about the things I’ve learned, and the things that make me who I am. I am pumped to get on the road next year and bring this to the fans.”

The 24th Annual Americana Honors: A Celebration Of The Best In Americana Music will air on Nov. 29 on PBS as a special episode of Austin City Limits. 

This year’s hour-long program showcases musical highlights from legends, breakthrough artists and popular favorites, including Emmylou Harris, Daniel Lanois, John Fogerty, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Medium Build, Maggie Rose, Jesse Welles, Old 97s, I’m With Her’s Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins, Aoife O’Donovan, Darrell Scott, David Rawlings, Gillian Welch, Dawes, Joy Oladokun and John C. Reilly.

Highlights during the special include newly crowned Album of the Year winner Nathaniel Rateliff taking the stage with Duo/Group of the Year recipients Gillian Welch & David Rawlings for a stirring rendition of “Center of Me,” the trio I’m With Her (Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins) performing their Song of the Year-winning “Ancient Light,” (nominated for two 2026 Grammys including Best American Roots Song), and Artist of the Year nominee Joy Oladokun earning a Ryman standing ovation with her breathtaking solo acoustic performance of “I’d Miss the Birds.”

Multiple honorees deliver show-stopping performances on the episode, including folk-rocker Jesse Welles, recipient of the Spirit of Americana Free Speech in Music Award, performing his protest song “War Isn’t Murder.” Welles recently scored four 2026 Grammy nominations including Best Americana Album and Best Folk Album. Rosanne Cash presented a Lifetime Achievement Honor to alt-country trailblazers Old 97s, who ignited the room with their signature “Timebomb.” Hayes Carll also honored Lifetime Achievement Honoree Darrell Scott, who performed his oft-covered coal-mining classic “Goin’ Back to Harlan,” raising the rafters backed by the soaring vocals of fellow Lifetime Achievement Honorees/gospel greats The McCrary Sisters.

Other moments included LA band Dawes performing their “Time Spent in Los Angeles,” dedicated to those affected by this year’s devastating wildfires. Host John C. Reilly joined Margo Price to salute the 50th anniversary of Willie Nelson’s landmark 1975 album Red Headed Stranger, delivering a duet of his classic “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.” And genre icons Emmylou Harris and Daniel Lanois also reunited to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Harris’s seminal Wrecking Ball, with the spellbinding “May This Be Love.”

This marks the fourteenth year the producers of Austin City Limits, in conjunction with producers Martin Fischer, Michelle Aquilato, and Jed Hilly for the Americana Music Association, are presenting the special ACL Presents. The special premieres Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. CT on PBS and the PBS app and varies by market, and the broadcast will also be available to fans everywhere to stream on pbs.org/austincitylimits and the free PBS app.
