Grammy winner to perform at Young Auditorium

Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter John Prine will make an appearance at the Young Auditorium on Saturday at 8 p.m., with special guest Iris Dement.

Prine is expected to perform songs from his latest solo offering, "Fair and Square." The album debuted nine years after his Grammy-nominated album, "Lost Dos and Mixed Blessings." The album debuted at number seven on Billboard Magazine's Top 20 Internet Album Sales chart and recorded the fastest rise to number one in the history of Americana radio. "Fair and Square" won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2006. Many devoted fans argue it is one of the best albums Prine has ever released.

Born in Maywood, Ill. on October 10, 1946, Prine's works of songwriting, singing and guitar playing has been compared to legendary music icons such as Bonnie Raitt, George Strait and Johnny Cash.

The cost of the tickets are between $29 and $49 and can be purchased online at the Young Auditorium Web site.
