A Tribute to John Denver
Thank God I’m A Country Boy!
Jimmy Duchateau returns to the stage with a new show: Thank God I’m A Country Boy!. In this tribute, he shows that John Denver was much more than just a few well-known hits. After the success of Country Roads, Jimmy once again takes you on a journey through the life of this iconic singer-songwriter.
The performance is filled with personal stories, surprising musical choices, and timeless classics like Calypso and Perhaps Love. Together with his band, Jimmy creates a warm, inviting atmosphere where the music of John Denver comes alive once more.
What makes this show truly special is the balance between staying faithful to the original arrangements—shared with Jimmy by Denver’s own arranger Lee Holdridge—and adding his own heartfelt emotion.
Even now, more than two decades after Denver’s passing, his music still resonates deeply. Jimmy delivers a performance where music, memory, and soul come together in an intimate concert that feels like coming home.
