What Sinatra was to the 1940’s, Elvis to the 1950’s, the Beatles to the 1960’s, John Denver was to the 1970’s. He was called the song’s best friend, and Carl Bennett’s tribute show captures the true essence of this beloved music legend.

Carl Bennett has been described as the “real deal” when it comes to capturing Denver’s musical likeness. His amazing voice and style is remarkable and his playlist includes all the highlights from John Denver’s top hits! His tribute is truly a walk down memory lane.

So, sit back, relax and let yourself go wherever the music takes you, as John used to say, and enjoy a truly incredible John Denver Music Experience.
