William Prince with special guest noelle (FREE Concert!)

Neil Young may not have wanted any southern men around but he sure was welcoming to the pride of Peguis First Nation, Canadian folk and country singer-songwriter William Prince when Young decided to have Prince open for him for a pair of concerts in Boston back in 2018. Of those unforgettable back-to-back nights, Prince regaled, “If Neil showed me anything, it’s how wonderful it can be to keep going once the whole thing is yours. I’m so thankful it was two nights.”

Over four albums, William Prince has created a body of work that traces a remarkable journey. 2023’s Stand in the Joy, produced by Dave Cobb, has Prince finding himself exactly where he needs to be. The album won the JUNO Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year and Prince was also nominated as the Americana Honors & Awards’s “Emerging Act of the Year”, “Folk Alliance International Album of the Year”, and JUNO Award Songwriter of the Year.

Prince’s career trajectory is marked by numerous accolades and milestones, including tours with The War and Treaty, Yola and Katie Pruitt, two Tiny Desk sessions, a debut at The Grand Ole Opry and a Newport Folk Festival debut as the recipient of the “John Prine Songwriter Fellowship”. From national network television appearances, top-tier media coverage and performances at major international festivals, William Prince has become one of the country’s most beloved and celebrated songwriters.
