Catch Jason Wilber and Tim Grimm in Chicago on July 9th
Wow, the John Prine post generated some response. Glad to see that people are still discovering him.
I also got an email from Shane Prowett, a John Prine fan, who's booked Prine's guitarist, Jason Wilber, to perform a solo show at the PC Lounge in Bolingbrook, IL--just outside of Chicago--on Saturday, July 9th.
I know what you're thinking... ok, Jason may do a good job of playing guitar for Prine, but that doesn't mean that he'll be worth seeing as a solo performer. True.
But before you pass judgment, take a look at what some others have said about him...
"His solo debut leaves one wondering why he waited so long to venture out on his own, as it reveals his true talent...insightful songwriting and soothing vocals."
- No Depression
"Wilber's songs are infectious, combining country, rock, and folk elements to create some truly unique Americana music... This guy is good..."
- The Gavin Report
Or, better yet, get on over to his website and listen for yourself.
The PC lounge is located at 132 N. Bolingbrook DR (RT. 53 and Briarcliff). Everything gets underway at 8:00 with Wilber's good friend and Indiana native Tim Grimm opening the show.
Tickets are only $10 in advance, $12 at the door, and you can get them by contacting Shane at shaprow@comcast.net, or from PC's at 630-739-3555.
See you at the show!
