A TRIBUTE TO JOHN DENVER

Jimmy Duchateau and band

Thank God I’m a country boy!

That John Denver is more than Annie’s song and Leaving on a jetplane is proven by Jimmy Duchateau in the new show Thank God I’m a country boy!
Jimmy and his band take you on a journey through the life of one of the world’s best country singers. A grand show with an intimate atmosphere in which the life lessons in Denver’s lyrics gain even more meaning and the legendary music gets the attention it deserves.

Jimmy: ‘I don’t want to imitate John Denver, although my voice does sound like his.’ So no blond wig and cowboy hat, but a guitar and – okay – a western shirt to stay in the mood. Enjoy small intimate songs to large arrangements, in which Jimmy and his band manage to bring the show to an unprecedented high point.

Jimmy breathes new life into hits such as Perhaps love, Calypso and Thank God I’m a country boy, but also pays attention to lesser-known work. ‘You can’t imitate the emotion of music, it can only come from yourself.’ Yet he remains faithful to the handwritten scores he received from Denver’s own arranger Lee Holdridge.

The event is finished.
