A Tribute to John Denver
Thank God I’m A Country Boy!
Thank God I’m A Country Boy! is the new show by Jimmy Duchateau, dedicated to the rich musical legacy of John Denver. Known from the hit production Country Roads, Jimmy returns to the stage with his band to present a program that goes beyond the greatest hits. Stories, memories, and music blend into a loving tribute.
Jimmy performs classics like Thank God I’m a Country Boy, Perhaps Love, and Calypso, but also surprises the audience with lesser-known songs. “You can’t fake music – it has to be real,” he says. That’s why he works with the original scores by Lee Holdridge, Denver’s longtime arranger.
25 years after his passing, Denver’s music still sounds sincere and powerful. Jimmy feels a deep connection to his work and conveys it effortlessly. Thank God I’m A Country Boy! is a show where music, emotion, and respect for the original come together.
