Take Me Home: The Music of John Denver
After being awarded a full Rotary International scholarship to study music and voice and being selected to sing as the voice of John Denver in the CBS Television Movie “Take Me Home, the John Denver Story,” there was no doubt that Jim Curry would continue to sing the praises and songs of America’s Troubadour – John Denver. As a lifelong fan, Curry dedicated himself to continuing John Denver’s legacy of songs and his message of love and caring for our planet to future generations.
Since 2002, the combined talents of Jim and his band have brought John’s Music back to thousands upon thousands of people. Jim is honored to have had John Denver band members join him in some of the country’s most prestigious venues. Curry also works behind the scenes to preserve Denver’s music. Most notable is Jim’s collaboration with Lee Holdridge in rebuilding and preserving Denver’s original symphony arrangements.
Jim Curry was a key performer in the induction of John Denver to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame show hosted by Olivia Newton-John. Curry was also the host of the official John Denver Estate show, which toured the United States and Australia.
Jim’s latest project, titled “Such a Wild Place,” was produced by two of John Denver’s band members, Pete Huttlinger and Chris Nole. It includes four original songs co-written by Jim Curry, as well as three unreleased songs written by John Denver.
Chris Nole will join the cruise to share his talent on stage with Jim Curry, sharing his experience working with John Denver, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Don Williams, among others.
