A celebration of John Denver's music is coming to downtown Prince George at the Knox Performance Centre on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Ever think about sunshine on your shoulders making you happy, country roads taking you home, or how you might end up leaving on a jet plane?
The show is created by Rick Worrall, a Canadian recording artist and producer from Kelowna, and John’s long-time friend and arranger/conductor Lee Holdridge.“This show reminds people of some of the incredible songs John Denver had,” Worrall said. “Immediately after I was done performing the Elton John show, it got me thinking that I loved performing with a symphony,” Worrall recalled.
Surprisingly an hour later he got a message to call Holdridge that saw Worrall eventually putting together arrangements for about 80 songs using Holdridge’s original hand-written conductor scores.
