Howdy, Prine Pals! We’ve got some news that gave us goosebumps.

The Hello In There Foundation ()—John Prine’s family foundation, dedicated to keeping his spirit alive in the world—is matching every dollar raised at Diamonds in the Rough 2026, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000.

If his songs tell us anything about the man, he cared about people, about land, about the places that shape us. The Foundation carries that same spirit forward. And this year, they’re standing behind the cause right alongside us.

Every ticket you buy, every dollar donated — it goes twice as far for ’s Land Back campaign.

May 30 at Natalie’s Grandview. Tickets at the link in bio and at prineintherough.com.
