John Denver News

John Denver was a troubadour of nature, singing of clear skies and country roads, sunshine, going home and mountain highs. His sweet tenor and rapturous anthems are as welcoming as an old friend, outlasting trends and standing the test of time. His life ended suddenly in a plane crash in 1997 - a tragedy that shocked the world - but his music will live on forever.

Georgia Ensemble Theatre (GET), North Fulton's only professional theatre company, proudly began its 21st season by blowing away all attendance records with the smash hit Almost Heaven, John Denver's America. Garnering the highest attendance ever for a season-opening show, Atlantans young and old flocked to see the wonderful, foot-stomping show about the music of John Denver, America's beloved troubadour.

Long considered a 'songwriter's songwriter,' John Prine is a rare talent who writes the songs other songwriters would sell their souls for. Evidence of this is the long list of songwriters who have recorded gems from his extensive catalog, including Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon, Ben Harper, Joan Baez, and many others. With immeasurable accolades, including two Grammys and the distinction of being one of the few songwriters honored by the Library of Congress and US Poet Laureate, Prine is more than a musician…he is an American treasure.
