A tribute to John prine music

Diamonds in the Rough

Jim Rosenberg and Paul Logan

Sunday november 2nd, $20

6pm show · doors at 5:30

Local Santa Cruz seasoned musicians Jim Rosenberg and Paul Logan

team up to create “Diamonds In The Rough”, an acoustic duo that

authentically captures the essence of John Prine and many of his

legendary classic songs. Reminiscent of the magic combination of the

John Prine/Steve Goodman era, Rosenberg and Logan combine acoustic

guitars, bass and vocal harmonies to bring you such classics as

“Souvenirs”, “Sam Stone” and “The Accident” as well as John’s post-

Goodman gems. Says Rosenberg, “I’ve been playing his songs and have

been a lifelong fan and self-appointed apprentice since 1970.” Paul has

appeared on recordings with Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Steve Miller, Neil

Young, David Crosby, Glen Campbell, Lucinda Williams and Lyle Lovette.

DIR has performed at Michale’s On Main, El Vaquero Winery, and

Private Parties and has a pending engagement with Kuumbwa Jazz

Center. All venues in Santa Cruz County, California.

“If you love John Prine like I do, you will appreciate Diamonds in the

Rough. Their love and respect for his music were on full display, and

the packed house loved their show.” -

Michael Harrison, owner Michael's on main.

“I love these guys. I love John Prine and I love this duo. They always

bring a great crowd with them”

. Bob Prikansky, Owner, El Vaquero Winery
