Ted Vigil

My wife and I saw Ted last Friday in Bay City, MI. We arrived a little late due to traffic. Ted was playing as we walked to our seats. We about freaked out watching him perform, finally making it to our seats. We've seen John play maybe a dozen times and are familiar with John's concert style. We found Ted's performance uncannily similar. Ted's interaction with the crowd seemed so familiar, very close to Johns. His voice is very close on some songs, but his is great all on its own. I found myself drifting with the music, the same way I did with John's. We recommend seeing Ted, it is something we're looking forward to again. We're on the mailing list now.

What an amazing event! When Ted first takes the stage it's almost surreal. He is the spitting image of John Denver right down to the mannerisms! He breaks into song with all the most loved songs and invites sing alongs and audience participation! After the show he was available for a handshake and photo. He was kind and gracious. I highly recommend seeing one of his shows if you have the opportunity!

The Newton Theater is one of our favorite venues for shows. Ted was simply amazing, as was his band! The sound at this theater was outstanding! We were blown away by Ted's singing and talent as well as his appearance. If you love John Denver, you will love Vigil.

Ted and Steve were sweet and sincere, warm and engaging. Great night to sit back, daydream and reflect, think about "poems and prayers and promises." Loved it.

Ted Vigil was awesome as John Denver! He looked like him, sounded like him and had a lot of his mannerisms. I had seen John in concert in 1975 at the Springfield Civic Center when I was fourteen and it brought back a lot of great memories! Also having Steve Weisberg play with him was a special treat! He shared many of his fond memories of John when they were touring together. I loved it!!

The concert was truly a tribute to John Denver with the added feature that Ted Vigil does look exactly like the John Denver of our younger years. His own music is awsome and his entertainment style brought us all together like a family at a campfire. Steve was great too! Will see him any chance I can when he visits New England again (and I hope he does).

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the Rocky Mountain High John Denver Tribute. Ted Vigil and Steve were wonderful and entertaining. City Stage is the perfect place to view a show such a this because it is small enough that you are able to see minute details like how they play the guitar. Their art is magnificent to watch. Steve is a great addition to Ted's show because he brought interesting comments about John Denver's life and way of doing things. It was a great evening!

Ted provided a powerful tribute to John Denver. Steve offered nice stories about his years with John.

This show was unforgetable. If you did not know that John Denver had passed away, you would have thought you were seeing him in person. The resemblance is uncanny, and the voice and tone were right on. We had a fantastic time and would love to see him again.

Great show at a great venue! He sounds just like John Denver

Very enjoyable, great voice, lots of fun, looks like John Denver

Looks like John Denver; sounds like John Denver; acts like John Denver; writes music like John Denver - WOW!!! Has John Denver's lead guitarist who tells charming stories and jokes as well as doing full justice to the history and music of John Denver - DOUBLE WOW!!! This show was totally engaging - a real winner.

Ted looks & sounds so much like John Denver. I loved Ted's own songs that he performed too! Steve Weisburg telling stories about John from back in the day were just a bonus! Loved this show, I would love to go see them again!!!!

Not only does Ted Vigil's face strike an uncanny resemblance to John Denver's, He also flashes that broad, all-loving John Denver smile. While strumming his guitar, and displaying that you-know-what-eating grin, he puts forth the pitch, the range and the treble that is John Denver. The tingles ran up and down my spine as Ted hit the highs of Rocky Mountain High, The Eagle and the Hawk, Calypso, and Montana Sky. Annie's Song was superbly done, and I was slapping my knee for Thank God I'm A Country Boy! A full serving of Denver hits were sung with aplomb and with my eyes open or closed, it WAS John Denver! Ted also has written some very enjoyable and well-crafted songs, and his pairing with Steve Weisberg, the original Lead Guitarist for John Denver, made this a special evening. Steve is an incredibly gifted musician, and you could see at times he would look over at Ted as he was belting out a Denver rip and the look on Steve's face was that he was back in time with John. Enjoy!

I was skeptical before going but Ted and Steve took all that away in the first few minutes. They are very comfortable with the audience and the songs were wonderful. It brought back a lot of great memories. Ted voice and looks are an amazing combination when compared to John. I will go to another concert of his and highly recommend it to my friends.

I was disappointed in this show. He resembled John Denver but his show was very amateur to me. I saw a similar show in a high school venue several years back, and it was more enjoyable. Did not appreciate having him do his own music. Not up to the caliber of shows we usually see at this venue.

Ted Vigil is so much like John. And having Steve Weisberg there to tell stories about his time with John was truly amazing. There were at least two instances that I felt chills run up my spine. It was a real trip down memory lane. Ted and Steve are both exceptionally talented musicians. Their tribute to John was moving.

If you are a John Denver fan, this is as close as you're gonna get to bringing hum back from the heavens. Fantastic show!

My husband and I went to see Ted Vigil. The show was great and brought back many memories of John Denver. He teamed up with a guitar player for John Denver and they did a good job of telling stories and playing the music. We really enjoyed the show.

Had a perfect evening at the Birchmere! Ted Vigil looks like he should be John Denver's twin. He plays guitar & sings all of JD's hits wonderfully and with the amazing back-up of Steve Weisburg's guitar, the whole performance was "Far Out"! Ted Vigil also sang some of his own songs -- also wonderful. Would love to see these guys again soon!

The Birchmere was the perfect venue to have a time traveling experience. Steve played and sang with John Denver in the 70's and his pairing with Ted Vigil is a living homage to John's life and music. Ted's own compositions only added to the experience, it felt like I was hearing music John never got to write. This is not an imitator although Ted looks and sounds like John; it is a genuine tribute to the man and his music and could not have been done better. If you get the opportunity see and hear these two wonderful performers don't miss it!

Wow, the guy looks like John Denver, sounds like him and he made my wife cry by bringing back such great memories. We love the Birchmere. Easy to get in and out. Seats are great. Foods good. Drinks score. Easy going atmosphere.

This show was Outstanding. Ted looked just like John Denver. His singing was great as well as the Violinist he had with him

The show was great. A little hokey at times, but I really enjoyed it. Venue was small and intimate. Songs sounded great. I would attend again.

What a wonderful evening! Ted Vigil and lovely Amy Davis, his backup singer/fiddler, played some beautiful music and stirred up the memories. Sunshine on My Shoulders sent Shivers Down My Spine! Keep doing what you're doing Ted. Keep the legend alive!

I had chills from the moment that Ted stepped on the stage. I was never able to see John in concert and felt that Ted could do him justice. Indeed, Ted has memorialized John and has helped to keep his spirit alive. I had tears from the moment he started "Rocky Mountain High" through to "Calypso"; and Ted's sweet rendition of "Poems, Prayers and Promises" just about had me sobbing. What I hadn't realized til this concert was how much John's words have influenced my life. I began listening when I was eleven or twelve, a young girl full of angst, usually upset at a parent, crowded in a tiny house with six people. The music, the words that John sang, I believe helped me become me. I love the mountains and the outdoors. I do my best to preserve our resources. And after many years I found "how sweet it is to love someone and how right it is to care". So, thank you Ted for bringing it all back home to me. You have a gift to be able to keep a great man's spirit alive.

John Denver reincarnated. His singer and fiddle player were amazing, too. Amanda Bacon, it's time for you to do a Whitney Houston tribute. Wish he'd done Annie's song and This Old Guitar. Maybe next time. I'm a groupie now!

This was my 7th time seeing Ted and I am still amazed and still get as excited as if I was seeing John again! He's just that good! This show I took 16 friends, who ALL felt the same way! He not only puts on a wonderful show, but always comes out for a meet and greet! Just an all around great guy too! I still cry when he sings Back Home Again and still get goose bumps when he does Calypso! AWESOME!

Ted came out to play for my mother's 60th birthday (she's a huge John Denver fan). Not only did she get to enjoy her favorite musician, she got to hear an incredible show. It's been a month, and she's literally still talking about it nonstop! Ted's voice and performance were way beyond what we had even hoped for. He gave a dynamic show and even got people who weren't with us to start dancing and singing. Everyone had an amazing time. Hands down, we would recommend his show to anyone. Can't wait to see him again! Thank you so much Ted!

Every song, Ted's interaction with the crowd and the music was incredible! Would love to see him again! However, we hoped to see a longer show than we did. I do not think this was Ted's doing at all, but the show advertized a 3 hour concert (7-10pm). After about 10-15 songs he said good night, kindly thanked the crowd for their participation and sharing songs with him and concert was over. I really do think that this was enforced by the casino group in hoping that they could get a few patrons to play some games on their way out. We thought we were going to see a 3 hour show and were somewhat disappointed when the night was over after only an hour. We do hope to get a chance to see Ted again, perhaps at another venue and see this talented guitarist & singer perform a much longer show that he's capable of doing.

So. About the show. First, the singer is decent. Doesn't have the range of John Denver but few do. He was lively and energetic and I felt the audience responded to that overall. However, in total, I was disappointed in the show due to it's length. It's hard to say if that is the dictate of the artist or the venue (since it was in a Vegas casino). The show was either 65 or 70 minutes. Spending close to $30 (with fees) for an hour show is not worth it to me. I wouldn't repeat the experience.

The show was entertaining and Ted, his backup singer and band members were excellent. They get and keep the audience involved. I would definitely go to this show again!

Before I start I want to say that I am a huge John Denver fan and I also think, from past concerts, that Ted Vigil is quite a talent. However, the concert on March 12, 2016 at Green Valley Ranch was a disappointment. To begin, the sound was off. Was muffled throughout the show. My whole section agreed. Also, I have to believe that Ted Vigil had what we call here as "Vegas throat". Maybe he had a cold but his voice wasn't as strong as past concerts. This could be why there was so much audience participation. When I go to a concert, I am there to hear the performer, not my voice. I get so agitated when asked to sing along. Competing to see which side of the room sings louder does not set well with me. Another point I want to make is my printed e-ticket had me in an assigned row, section and seat number. When I got to the Events Center, it was every man for himself. That's not right. People would put clothing, drinks, purses and other items on seats to either side so they could have more space for themselves. Finally, for Ted Vigil to mispronounce the name of the casino ( called it Green River Ranch) is unexcusable. I gave the concert an average rating.. Would I see him again? YES!! I have seen Ted Vigil at his best and he is amazing. I still believe he sounded hoarse this night.

Music was great....But the large TV screens on either side should have been viewing some " "Rocky Mountain High".. Also...we thought we had reserved seats..Was told general seating once inside..Not good. We stayed at the bar when we would have entered 1 hour earlier.

The concert and performers were amazing! I really hope you bring them back again! What an awesome memorable night!!!

I have been to many tribute shows and I think that this one was the best. Ted gave a wonderful performance. He looked like John, sounded just like him, and he related well with the audience. The band and singer was also great. I was smiling and singing along all night long.

If you liked John Denver you will love this show. Ted Vigil looks like John Denver but better yet he sounds like him. He was personable with the audience and the audience was into the show. I would recommend this show to friends and family. I would of given the show a 5 star rating but my only complaint is the show only lasted about hour. Throw another 20-30 minutes in there and it would of been great and well worth 5 stars... Seats were to close together. You cannot tie folding chairs together. With no arm rests, you end up having some people extended into other seats and that makes it uncomfortable for both people. Rows were to close together making it difficult for people to get to their seats. Seating all on one level. Because of the seating I would not attend another show at this venue!

This show is a "MUST SEE" for all John Denver fans. Not only does he sound exactly like Denver, but he looks like him also. Several times I closed my eyes and couldn't believe that I wasn't hearing the real John Denver. Will constantly view his website to see when Ted Vigil will return to Las Vegas. Told my out-of-state brother about the Tribute Show and he is checking out the website to see when he'll be performing in his state. Hoping that his next Las Vegas concert will be closer than the M Resort, which was 35 miles from my house. It's a difficult casino to access and find your way around however the employees were extremely helpful and friendly. The food in the casino was surprisingly fantastic. By the way, while I'm rating the show, I did feel Ted Vigil could have performed at least 30 minutes longer than the 80 minute concert. It's not like he had to be somewhere soon (checked his concert schedule). He left out several top John Denver songs and that should never happen. Those around me felt the same way...that he enjoyed singing but wanted to get out of there. People who attend a John Denver concert can't get enough of him and the concert should have been a minimum of close to 2 hours.

Ted Vigil is John Denver reincarnated. I highly recommend this tribute. It is about an hour long and I would have liked for it to be a little longer...we only got one ovation song. Would have loved to hear" It's About Time" but Ted seems concerned about putting people to sleep with slower ballads. If you are a John Denver fan...this is worth both your time and money.

I went into this expecting something "close" to the sound of John Denver. I was extremely disappointed and the length of the show (75 min at most!) was also disappointing. Having Ted "imitate" John Denver was a complete miss. Throwing in his own "songs" at a tribute show, I felt, was inappropriate. Then as good as Amanda Bacon was, again a tribute show should address the songs by the artist that is being "honored".

If you enjoyed John Denver and his music back in the day, you will enjoy reminiscing while listening to Ted Vigil. Brought back lots of my youth and wonderful memories.

The music was great - the show was only one hour long - way too short.

This was my first Ted Vigil Show It was a wonderful concert! Ted has an amazing voice, stage presence and boundless energy which he shares with the audience! He has an uncanny resemblance to the great John Denver in his voice, looks, and mannerisms. He does justice to many of John's songs as well as highlighting some of his own works. Wonderful show Would highly recommend it and will be back for more!

I loved the relationship he had with the audience. The songs really took me back and it was wonderful meeting him afterwards. A great way to spend my birthday! I'd love to see him again next year!

City Stage is always a great intimate showcase be it for a musical performer or live theatre. Ted Vigil was a fantastic performer and we enjoyed both the tribute aspect of the show as well as his own talent with his original music and personality.

A personable, friendly, good singer who looked very much like John Denver. He got the audience involved in the show and his comments helped to make us feel more included. A good night out and I would recommend this to anyone who loved John Denver and his lifestyle.

Honestly, I wasn't interested in seeing this show...not my favorite kind of music. But I was wrong. This was worth every penny - it was a wonderful experience. Starting with the venue - great place to see a show! The artist, Ted Vigil was talented and engaged the audience throughout. Also, the "grandma" song where he brought up 3 teenagers to do the animal parts - Hysterical! Wonderful...simply wonderful!

Being a longtime John Denver fan, I was completely blown away by this young man, Ted Vigil. From the moment he set foot on the stage, I (being in the center seat of the 2nd row) was mesmerized by his voice and his incredible resemblance to the late and great John Denver. Ted Vigil's voice, mannerisms and humor were so much like John's that I had to keep reminding myself it was a 'tribute show'....that wasn't really Johnny up on that stage - Ted Vigil is THAT GOOD!!! After the show, we formed a line to meet Ted in person. I purchased his cd, and as he autographed it for me, I thanked him for 'bringing John back to the stage, if only for a little while....the experience he created was magical'

This guy is extremely talented. The songs he wrote himself are beautiful. It is too bad the show had to end when it did (75 minutes). I think he would have played longer if it were not for a second show scheduled 45 minutes after the first one. You can tell he enjoys what he is doing. Always has a smile on his face!

The show was very good. Ted looked and sounded just like John Denver. 6 of us went and we all enjoyed it very much.

We have always been great John Denver fans. This was a nice trip down memory lane.

Ted sounds and looks like John Denver. We were amazed at the quality of the show for local theater. We would devinitely recommend seeing this show if you want to have a fun evening!
