Jason Wilber
Doors open at 6:30pm for this ALL AGES solo show featuring Jason Wilber (best known as John Prine’s guitarist for the past 20 years)!
Bio:
Jason Wilber is Prine’s guy. At least some folks think of him that way.
Wilber stands on elevated stages—from Carnegie Hall to the London Palladium, in every American state and across Canada and Europe and the like—and sings and plays guitar for John Prine, one of the English speaking world’s most celebrated and revered songwriters. It’s kind of like playing for Walt Whitman. It’s the sort of gig that can define a musician, and most would be well-pleased with the definition: “A legend’s right hand man” has a ring to it, and the music Wilber makes with Prine in concert and on recordings is thrilling and sustaining and important.
It’s all that, and has been for nearly twenty years. It’s everything but enough.
Because, sure, Wilber is Prine’s guy. But he’s more than that. He’s an affable Indiana born badass who can play burn-it-down rock solos or offer up plaintive acoustic loveliness. Over the years he’s also lent his guitar talents to his friends Todd Snider, Iris Dement, and Greg Brown, among others. And he’s a deft songsmith in his own right, whose works have drawn comparisons to folk and Americana titans, even John Prine himself. In his spare time, he’s a radio host and interviewer whose syndicated radio show, In Search of a Song, finds him in peer-to-peer conversations with Josh Ritter, Mary Gauthier, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Steve Earle and other heavies.
