The Music of John Denver
by Jim Curry
Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 3:00pm
The songs are timeless. The resemblance is remarkable. The message, still relevant. With multi-platinium hits like "Rocky Mountain High," "Annie's song" and "Calypso," John Denver captured a worldwide audience through his songs of care and concern. Today his music comes to life through Jim Curry's ultimate tribute. He is the first and only full-length John Denver tribute in Las Vegas, and his shows throughout North America and the Holland America Cruise Line are testament to John Denver's lasting appeal.
