A Tribute to John Denver
Thank God I’m A Country Boy!
John Denver was more than just the man behind Annie’s Song and Leaving on a Jet Plane. Jimmy Duchateau proves it in his new theatre show Thank God I’m A Country Boy!. After four successful years of Country Roads, the band returns with a brand-new production. Jimmy and his band take you on a journey through the extraordinary life of one of country music’s greatest icons. Be moved by the personal stories and get swept away by the timeless melodies that made Denver famous.
Jimmy performs songs like Perhaps Love, Calypso, and of course Thank God I’m a Country Boy with both freshness and respect, while also giving space to lesser-known gems. “The power of music lies in honest emotion.” Still, he remains faithful to the original arrangements by Lee Holdridge, Denver’s longtime orchestrator.
Even 25 years after his death, John Denver lives on in the hearts of his fans. Jimmy may be from a younger generation, but his connection to Denver’s work runs deep. Thank God I’m A Country Boy! is a grand show with a personal atmosphere, where Denver’s musical legacy is beautifully brought to life.
