JOHN Denver fans are in for a treat, with a tribute show to the country singing legend coming to the Proserpine Entertainment Centre.
John Denver was one of the greatest country singer-songwriters of all time.
The American artist was a singer, actor, activist and humanitarian, who found great success as a solo performer.
Starting with folk groups, in the late 1960s, he became one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s, selling millions of records around the world.
John Denver released around 300 songs, writing the majority of them himself.
Famous songs include ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’, ‘Annie’s Song’, ‘Rocky Mountain High’, ‘Thank God I’m a Country Boy’, ‘Leaving on A Jet Plane’ and ‘Sunshine on My Shoulder’.
He also appeared in several films and TV shows, during the 1970s and 1980s, including 1977’s Oh, God! alongside George Burns.
‘The Poems, Prayers & Promises of John Denver’ will take the stage on July 31, 2024, for a 90-minute show incorporating all the well known tunes.
