Multi award-winning performer, Darren Coggan, returns to his country roots with The Poems, Prayers & Promises of John Denver.
Presented by The Harbour Agency
In a personal reflection, Darren respectfully honours the indelible voice behind songs that the whole world sang along with, such universal anthems as 'Take Me Home, Country Roads', 'Rocky Mountain High', 'Annie's Song', 'Perhaps Love', 'Thank God I’m A Country Boy', 'Calypso', 'Leaving On A Jet Plane' and many more.
It is often said that John Denver was to the '70s, what Sinatra was to the '40s, Elvis to the '50s and The Beatles to the '60s. With a voice full of Colorado sunshine, John Denver melted the borders between folk, pop and country music, offering a warm, welcoming vision of what the '70s could encompass.
Re-live the voice of a generation, in a celebration of one of the most inspiring and prolific singer-songwriters of our time, remarkably re-created live, by Darren Coggan.
