Theatre Talk: John Denver tribute

A night of John Denver’s voice, songs, videos and stories at TRECC on Wednesday, January 16 at 8pm. 

The show pays tribute to the music and legacy of one of the most influential and famous singer-songwriters of a generation: John Denver.

The evening promises to highlight many of the greatest moments in Denver’s career, brought to life once more by members of his former touring band and an accompanying string section.

Timeless masterpieces including Take Me Home Country Roads, Rocky Mountain High, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Sunshine On My Shoulders, Annie’s Song, Thank God I’m A Country Boy and more will feature on the night, through stunning visuals and authentic performances. 

Throughout his decade-spanning career, Denver’s works were portrayed across an array of mediums, from film to social activism, to politics, to music, where he would arguably have the most impact.

Known for his love of the environment, and his disdain for fast-paced, city living, Denver became a unique voice for an era, and one that’s all the more relevant today. 

An avid flyer, Denver’s career was cut short in 1997 when he passed away following a fatal plane crash. 

A must-see for John Denver fans, both newcomers and devotees, The John Denver Celebration Concert will be an immersive, and all-encompassing night of heart-warming nostalgia.
