The nonprofit inspired by his father’s music just spent the weekend in Tampa Bay for benefit concerts, and now Tommy Prine (a son of the late John Prine and his widow Fiona) is in town to share his voice.

Released last summer, the 29-year-old’s debut full-length This Far South draws from a collection of private songs that catalog the triumphs and tragedies of his life. And while you can hear some of his father in the delivery, don’t expect a set of John Prine Jr. music at Skipper’s as Tommy is certainly carving out a land for himself in a perpetually-crowded singer-songwriter scene.

Tickets to see Tommy Prine play Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa on Friday, April 18 are still available for $20.
