Multi-award winning performer, Darren Coggan, returns to his country roots with The Poems, Prayers & Promises of John Denver, delivering the vocal authenticity of one of the most passionate performers of all time.

In a personal reflection, Darren respectfully honours the indelible voice behind songs that the whole world sang along with, such universal anthems as ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’, ‘Rocky Mountain High’, ‘Annie’s Song’, ‘Perhaps Love’, ‘Thank God I’m a Country Boy’, ‘Calypso’, ‘Leaving on a Jet Plane’ and many more.

It is often said that John Denver was to the ’70’s, what Sinatra was to the ’40’s, Elvis to the ’50’s and The Beatles to the ’60’s. With a voice full of Colorado sunshine, John Denver melted the borders between folk, pop and country music, offering a warm, welcoming vision of what the ’70’s could encompass.

Re-live the voice of a generation, in a celebration of one of the most inspiring and prolific singer-songwriters of our time, remarkably re-created live, by Darren Coggan.

What the critics are saying

  • 'Coggan has a fresh, powerful, expressive voice, and he just oozed style.'

    The Australian
  • 'Coggan’s musical story-telling is outstanding, as is his singing and playing.'
