Country Roads: a John Denver Celebration

In my mind a tribute band that plays music from a famous performer from the past should just get up on stage and crank the music out and let the crowd remember and relive a time past when they saw or listened to that performer who we will never get to see again. the Jim Curry Band overall did a decent job of doing that, but I found myself (and the people I was with) getting a little tired of all the chattiness. If you are going to spend your money to go hear someone you know is not the real thing, you are there for the music, not the conversation. The excessive talking got in the way of the mood and the music, and I ended up feeling cheated out of about 5-6 additional songs that could have been played if not for the talking. Not all the greatest hits were played because the band changes it up each tour, and if this was your first time seeing them, you missed out because their set changed. All great songs-no problems there, but why skip Leaving on a Jet Plane for a deep track from an album that few bought? All in all a good show, and recommended for John Denver fans but I won't see them again unless I know the set list ahead of time.

Jim Curry had John Denver nailed. His voice, his hair, his wire-rimmed glasses. He was a spitting image of John. It was though I was watching John Denver live. Their song list was great, the story-telling was great, the way in which the band members interacted was great. Mr. Curry took time, after the show, to do a meet and greet. Other artists charge you hundreds of dollars for this opportunity. They were very talented and classy people. I would recommend this show to anyone who was/is a fan of John Denver!

Excellent music quality, excellent venue, and terrific musicians. It's great Jim Curry and his band of talented musicians are exposing a new generation to the music of John Denver. I hope they return soon for another concert.

The concert was great. His band mates really are great fun and the collabration with all the instruments they have is in good taste. its a must see event.

John seemed to be present and inspiring the Jim Curry group Saturday night. The troubadour was in fine form as usual, but I was especially impressed by all of his support cast, led by John's former band members, Mr.Sommers and Mr.Garcia. We JD fans will be back!!

My wife and I enjoyed Jim Curry, his wife Ann, and other band members, couple of whom were with JD back in the day. Concert was a little under 2 hours with one intermission. Show included a slide show where added to the memories. Obviously can't sing all of JD's 300+ songs but show had a bit too much chatter which took time away from the singing. Band welcomed sing along which was good. Good venue for this concert.

Country Roads was better than I expected. The music and the whole show was awesome! I especially enjoyed the venue too! I would definitely go again!

They did a good job with John's music, wish they had played all of his hits, I hadn't heard of half of the music before. The tickets were a little pricey for a group that was not that well known.

John Denver Tribute concert was awesome! I took my parents and they loved it...it was a great evening out. The bonus was having the guy that actually wrote some songs for Denver come on stage and sing. :-). The main singer sounded a lot like John and it was interesting getting little facts about his life. Thank you for a wonderful night.

We had recently been to the Ames Center to hear Home Free, which was amazing. I was worried this show would pale in comparison. I was wrong! Jim Curry, and band, are an authentic fill-in for the real John Denver. Don't get me wrong, nothing would be finer than to hear John Denver in person again, but since that's not possible Jim Curry fills the shoes very well!! I hope he will return to MN again soon. I have already recruited other John Denver fans to join me at the next concert!

We really enjoyed the show. It was neat to meet some actual members from John Denver's band from when he was alive. I grew up listening to John Denver so I think it is very cool that someone is bringing his music back for the new generation to listen to. I am so glad that John Denver finally got his Hollywood Star this past Friday!

Great entertainment. A look back in time with a group that did a great job of replicating the John Denver tunes. Jim Curry was outstanding

He sounded just like John Denver. It was heartfelt and a great concert overall.

I was amazed how much he sounded like JD and he was so fun to watch. Great with audience.

This was perhaps one of THE best concerts we have ever seen. Always a folk era fan from way back,John Denver was one of our favorites. We were heartsick after he tragically died. When Jim Curry came out and really resembled John and then when he opened his mouth and sang the first few lines of the song, we really were in tears. It was so moving and well done. The concert was fantastic. Everyone in the group was great and the choices of songs were perfect. The large screen in the background added to the affect with the photos. The "meet and greet" afterwards was especially gracious and rounded out the concert to a total A plus. I hope this group comes back so we can encourage our friends to join us. We'd certainly go again!!

Outstanding performance. I would pay 70 dollors again in a heartbeat to see them again. One of the best intertainment deals out there. We were at the Burnsville Center in Minnesota when we heard them.

I felt as if John Denver was alive once again. Tim Curry captures John's spirit and music. All of the band was fantastic and it was fun hearing the stories about the compossers of Thank God I's A Country Boy and Grandma's Feather Bed.

An outstanding evening! Jim Curry looks and sounds just like John Denver; Jim has an amazing voice. The evening was upbeat and filled with not only the music of John Denver but also with stories about him. And to have Richie Garcia on drums, just as he did with John, was extra special. The surprise of having John Sommers play as well as Jim Connor only added to the wonderful evening. I highly recommend seeing this show!

I bought the tickets for my parents and they loved it. My dad is the biggest fan and he enjoyed it very much.

Jim Curry does a great job with John Denver songs. He is a personable performer and asked the audience to sing along. Three of the band members had performed with John Denver and gave memories of their times with him. Performed most of the notable hits.

Closed my eyes and thought Denver was back A great time!!!
