14th Annual Big Fat Love: Celebrating John Prine’s Birthday at The Hook and Ladder

The Hook & Ladder Theater is pleased to host the 14th Annual Big Fat Love show, celebrating what would have been the late John Prine’s 77th birthday. The popular event is curated and hosted by KFAI’s Ellen Stanley (a.k.a. Mother Banjo) and features a “Who’s Who” lineup of regional artists.

Lauded as one of America’s greatest songwriters, the former mailman and 4-time Grammy winner was known for many songs that have become American standards like “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery” and “Hello In There.” The event will include performances of these Prine classics as well as some lesser known favorites performed by Minnesota’s top folk, blues and Americana acts.
