Rocky Mountain High
Musician Jimmy Duchateau proves that John Denver is more than Annie's Song and Leaving on a Jetplane in the new performance Rocky Mountain High.
After the success of the Thank God I'm a Country Boy tour, Jimmy and his band are back with this brand new show. A Tribute to John Denver takes you on a journey through the life of one of the world's greatest country singers. Let yourself be carried away by moving stories and dream away to the nostalgic music that made John Denver so immortal.
And that music is what this performance is all about. From small songs to large compositions: together with his band, Jimmy brings the show and the audience to an unprecedented high, such as you only experience in the Rocky Mountains. Jimmy lets you relive hits like Perhaps Love, Calypso and Country Roads, but also pays attention to lesser-known work.
Although Jimmy is not of Denver's generation, he understands his music like no other. "My voice may resemble that of John Denver," says Jimmy, "you cannot imitate the emotion that comes with conveying music, it can only come from within yourself." He remains faithful to the handwritten scores he received from Denver's own arranger Lee Holdridge.
Thirty albums and four decades after his debut, John Denver is still relevant and the life lessons in his lyrics prove surprisingly timeless. Rocky Mountain High is a grand show with an intimate atmosphere that gives Denver's legendary music the attention it deserves.
