Stefan Prigmore visits Our Front Porch

The Western Illinois Museum welcomes songwriter Stefan Prigmore to Our Front Porch for an evening of Americana, folk, and roots music. The Texas-based singer will perform on Saturday, November 4, 2023. Stefan’s original music offers captivating and sincere stories delivered with his dynamic vocals. The doors and cash bar open at 6:30 p.m. Stefan will play two sets of music starting at 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. There is a suggested $5 donation at the door. 

Stefan has been creating and performing music since his teenage years and has gained a reputation for delivering fine, crystal-clear folk-storytelling tunes with acoustic guitar elegance. In 2018, Stefan was nominated for “Songwriter of The Year” by Fort Worth Weekly magazine, and that same year he won a tour grant from the Hear Fort Worth initiative.  In March 2021, he released his first solo, full-length album River/Blood, followed by Everything Is At Least Both, released in November 2022. Both were produced and recorded by Clay Parker. His latest release is described by John Apice of Americana Highways as, “… a pinch of wisdom or irony, never a hint of negativity. Stefan sings with a soulful grit tinged liberally with reflective tones, sympathy & nostalgia.” Stefan’s music and performance will offer guests a memorable and thought-provoking experience.

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council. Additional funding was provided by a grant from the Illinois Humanities, with funds from the State of Illinois American Rescue Plan Act.

The Western Illinois Museum is located at 201 S. Lafayette Street, one block south of Macomb’s Courthouse Square. For more information, call the Museum at 309.837.2750, text 309.837.2613, or email info@wimuseum.org. More details and updates can be found on the Museum’s social media channels.

About Stefan Prigmore

Stefan has been creating and performing music since his teenage years when he followed his father into the music business.  In addition to teaching him about music, Stefan’s father informed his appreciation for the outdoors, especially woodlands and rivers. Stefan’s musical sound is a rustic and approachable blend of Americana, folk, and roots music that takes its inspiration from what he values in the outdoors. His songs reflect the stark and sincere qualities of nature that he conveys with a dynamic and distinctive voice. He lists Bob Dylan, Guy Clark, Leonard Cohen, and Richard Buckner among his influences.

In 2018, Stefan was nominated for “Songwriter of The Year” by Fort Worth Weekly magazine and that same year he won a tour grant from the Hear Fort Worth initiative. In 2021, Stefan launched his Patreon page, where he shares new and unreleased music, wild game recipes, and stories from the woods and waterways. Stefan and his wife, Becky, now live in the far eastern part of Texas with their ridiculous squirrel dog, Leon Rausch.
