    Bonnie Prince Billy Concert

    A rare performance by a legendary Louisville native singer-songwriter...

    Tickets are $16-$18 and are available at Carmichaels Bookstore, 2720 Frankfort Avenue, (502) 896-6950 or visit www.cliftoncenter.org. For more information about the MINI of Louisville Live at the Clifton Center call (502) 896-8480.

    Perhaps you haven't been paying attention, but Bonnie Prince Billy is clearly one of the great American songwriters to emerge in the last decade. Listen more closely, and you'll see. Over the course of five albums and countless singles, compilation tracks, collaborations, live performances and material not intended for release, Bonnie Prince Billy has become a sought after commodity around the free world, as well as some of the uncharted, 'evil' parts of the planet. The Bonnie Prince got his start as the featured singer with the Palace Music band. He struck out on his own in 1998. His first expression was a curious one: 'I Am Drinking Again.' When had we ever known him to drink before When had we even known him at all Here, Bonnie’s black humor first raised its hoary head, and belched a good one. This record set the tone for that first year: four singles on four different labels from three different countries. This delivered the message that Bonnie belonged to no one man but conversely, to the whole freaking world.
