Jim's uncanny ability to mirror John's voice and clean-cut look takes you back to the time when "Rocky Mountain High" "Sunshine" "Calypso" and "Annie's Song" topped the charts, and his popular music had the heartfelt message of caring for the earth and caring for each other. Jim Curry has been hailed as one of the world's most authentic John Denver performers.

Many of the iconic 'Denver' hits are featured in this special presentation of the stories and songs that have made this American icon a musical tradition, including 'Take Me Home Country Roads,' 'Thank God I'm A Country Boy,' 'Rocky Mountain High,' 'Sunshine On My Shoulders,' 'Leaving On A Jet Plane,' 'Calypso,' 'Annie's Song,' and many more - including the tradeMark Harmonies and acoustic stylings cherished by John Denver fans the world over.
