John Prine's Birthday Party

Singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Grant Peeples celebrates the life and work of John Prine with John Prine's Birthday Party on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m.

Peeples's annual concert is at the St. Augustine Waterworks on San Marco. For 2026, Peeples is joined by Bad Dog Mama, The Curry's, and Don Cooper. Each performer/group will play several of John's songs. Expect one or two numbers by the entire group to end the evening.

His songs tell stories that resonate with music lovers of all ages and have been covered by many incredible musicians, including Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Cash, Sarah Jarosz, and Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd).
