Jim Curry began his music career writing and performing the opening song, “The Time of Your Life” for his senior play.  The song, voted to be the 1975 class song, won Jim a Rotary Scholarship to study music in college.  Even at this early stage in his life Jim’s natural voice resembled that of singer/songwriter John Denver.  Embracing this similarity, he continued to sing and specialize in the songs of John Denver, sharing John’s positive messages of love, humanity, and environmental awareness.

The untimely death of John Denver in 1997 was a tragedy that was felt the world over.  Such a void in the musical world left John’s ardent fans demanding that his music survive.  CBS television responded by producing a made for TV movie: “Take Me Home, the John Denver Story” in which Jim landed an off-camera role singing as the voice of John Denver.  This experience inspired Jim to produce full–length John Denver tribute concerts.

He is not your usual “Vegas style” impersonator.  In fact, he is not an impersonator at all.  Jim sings, in his own natural voice, a tribute to the music in a way that needs to be seen and heard to understand the pure honesty of his amazing performance.  His looks and his voice are simply a pleasant coincidence that captures the true essence of John Denver’s music.  Curry’s heartfelt delivery rolls out into the crowd as multi-platinum hits like “Rocky Mountain High,” “Annie’s Song” and “Calypso” fill the room.

John Denver’s words still ring true in these times of war and environmental crisis.  John Denver grew rapidly into a mega celebrity when the world was looking for some hope in the late 60’s and 70’s.  The song “Take me Home Country Roads” gave America a new lift abroad as well as at home.  People all over the world found pride in the natural wonders of the earth and love for John’s message of caring for our planet and each other.  Jim delivers these songs in the same spirit, with the same heartfelt care and desire to make a difference.  With a growing number of younger listeners concerned about environmental and world issues, Jim believes these songs bring an awareness of the value of preserving our natural resources and our humanity for each other.

Jim has created the ultimate tribute experience and has emerged as the top performer of John Denver’s music today.  Curry’s show is the first full-length John Denver tribute in Las Vegas, sell-out time after time at the Silverton Hotel and Casino.  Curry has taken his show on the road to Performing Arts Centers and Casinos across the US and Canada, often performing with John Denver’s band members.  He also takes his show out to sea and is one of the most popular entertainers on Holland America Cruise Line.

During John Denver’s long lasting career, he teamed up with Grammy Award winning arranger, composer, and conductor Lee Holdridge.  Lee’s symphony arrangements, along with John’s songs became the trademark sound of many of John’s hits.  Now Jim Curry and Lee Holdridge have brought the music of America’s troubadour back in a full-length symphony concert.
