Press Release
The Border Concert Association will open its 2012-2013 season this Saturday (Sept. 29) with “Take Me Home: The Music of John Denver.”
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Backus Auditorium in International Falls.
Singer/guitarist Jim Curry has created the ultimate tribute experience, and has emerged as the top performer of John Denver’s music today.
This is the first and only full-length John Denver tribute to headline in Las Vegas, and has been celebrated nationally and internationally.
The untimely death of John Denver in 1997 was a tragedy that was felt by fans everywhere. This void in the musical world left ardent fans demanding that his music survive.
CBS Television responded by producing a made-for-TV movie: “Take Me Home: the John Denver Story,” in which Curry was selected as the voice of John Denver.
Curry’s heartfelt delivery envelops the audience as multi-platinum hits such as “Rocky Mountain High,” “Annie’s Song,” and “Country Roads” fill the atmosphere.
Superimposed with multi-media images of wildlife photos and videos, this is a show that truly fills up your senses.
Season tickets will be available at the door, which cost $45 for adults, $10 for students, and $95 for a family.
