Witness moments of the American Revolution mixed with the industrial revolution. Hear Prohibition Jazz grow out of Civil War Spirituals. And enjoy America’s heroes on the battlefield and ball field rubbing elbows with entertainers and politicians alike! Iconic video images are surrounded by the sounds and speeches of our Nation’s history. It’s the music, moments and memories that make us proud to be Americans. |

His is the first and only full-length John Denver tribute in Las Vegas, and his shows throughout North America and on the Holland America Cruise Line are testament to John Denver’s lasting appeal. Jim’s powerful performances (accompanied by guitar/mandolin, flute, keyboard, bass and drums) bring John Denver’s greatest songs and feelings to life, blending the images of our natural earth with a love for each other. With his compelling voice and heartfelt words, Jim brings a welcome rebirth to the enduring music of America’s troubadour. Listen at Take Me Home: Music of John Denver.. |
