We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting a premiere documentary screening of You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine on March 29th as part of The 12th Annual Back Porch Festival - available to all Ramble Pass Ticketholders.

You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine captures a star-studded tribute to the legendary songwriter, filmed in October 2022 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. The event brought together acclaimed artists, friends, and family to share behind-the-scenes stories and perform classic songs, honoring Prine's enduring legacy.
