15th Annual Big Fat Love: Celebrating John Prine's Birthday

The Hook & Ladder Theater is pleased to host the 15th Annual Big Fat Love show, celebrating what would have been the late John Prine’s 78th birthday. The popular event is curated and hosted by Ben Cook-Feltz & KFAI’s Ellen Stanley (a.k.a. Mother Banjo) and features performances by Minnesota’s top folk, blues and Americana acts. 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. All proceeds benefit the Hello In There Foundation, established by John Prine’s family and offering support for people who are marginalized, discriminated against or, for any reason, are otherwise forgotten.
