Halloween is coming--what about organizing a "friends night out" this Fall by snatching your tickets now for the "Take Me Home-Music of John Denver" show coming Nov. 14, 7:30pm at the Verona Area High School Performing Arts Center. From the very first song you hear that night, you will know why our lead singer, Jim Curry, was cast to be the voice of John Denver in the CBS movie “Take me home: the John Denver Story”. He was chosen as a key performer in the induction of John Denver into the Colorado Music Hall of fame show, and hosting the official John Denver Estate show that toured the United States and Australia. Watch a sneak peek here and join us:
