Tommy Prine, son of late legendary songwriter John Prine, plays St. Pete show on Thursday

Tommy Prine learned music from his dad, John, who happens to be one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. John, who kept a home in Gulfport, died in April of 2020, so it’s Tommy’s turn.

Though Tommy, Prine’s youngest son, has been playing the guitar since he was 10, the singer-songwriter’s debut album, produced in part by Ruston Kelly, is coming out any day now. Tommy plays songs about “growing up, falling in love, and losing his father” at a sold-out show inside the still-open Hideaway Cafe.

Here’s to hoping he plays St. Petersburg a song or two from pops’ catalog and to your luck getting a ticket since the show is sold-out.
