With a unique musical style considered timeless, earnest, and comforting, coupled with a political and social conscience rooted in truth and authenticity, John Denver was an enigmatic everyman for the ages.  Relive his enduring musical legacy with Country Roads: The Songs of John Denver.

The Talent was superior each and everyone of the cast was so talented on instrumentals and vocals. Drayton never fails to provide such a professional performance and nothing less.
