Folk icon Tom Rush brings a night of songs and stories to the historic Wheeler Opera House. Known for a warm, expressive voice, distinctive guitar work, and wry, laugh‑out‑loud storytelling, Rush moves effortlessly from tender ballads to gritty blues.

A pivotal voice of the ’60s folk revival, he later helped spark the acoustic renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences,” and Garth Brooks has named Rush among his top five musical influences.

He’s also long championed emerging writers—his early recordings introduced audiences to Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne—and his Club 47® concert series continues that tradition of musical discovery.

His set traces the tradition and spectrum of American song—what it has been, can be, and will become.

The timeless music of John Denver continues to inspire audiences with its warmth, honesty, and spirit. This intimate concert celebrates the songs that made John’s music beloved around the world, bringing audiences back to the feeling of hearing these classics live.

Mack Bailey and Chris Nole deliver a heartfelt tribute filled with stories, memories, and unforgettable music. Mack Bailey performed with John on stage, while Chris Nole toured and recorded with John Denver throughout the 1990’s.

With his expressive tenor voice and engaging style, Mack Bailey is an acclaimed singer-songwriter and former member of The Limeliters.

Following his years as a member of John Denver’s band, Nole remains an active presence in the music industry, continuing to perform and collaborate on a wide range of musical projects. Together, they present a sincere and memorable celebration of John’s music and legacy.

Since 1998 this local farmer’s market has been a Summer staple in the downtown core. The market features Colorado-produced offerings such as produce, fruits, vegetables, bread, meats, jams, artisan products, sculptures, paintings, a petting zoo, and so much more. There is also a food court for lunch or snack provisions.

2026 marks 29 years since we lost John Denver—but his music continues to inspire, uplift, and bring people together.

Join us for a memorable evening celebrating the songs that have become part of our lives. From “Rocky Mountain High”and “Annie’s Song” to “Sunshine on My Shoulders” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” with many more of Denver’s enduring classics, this tribute honors the music that defined a generation and continues to resonate today.

Award-winning tribute artist Chris Collins brings remarkable authenticity, warmth, and vocal brilliance to the stage, embodying the spirit that made John Denver’s concerts unforgettable. Backed by the talented Boulder Canyon—featuring seasoned musicians, including Berklee College of Music alumni—this ensemble brings depth, energy, and authenticity to every note.

Having earned widespread acclaim from audiences nationwide and internationally, Chris Collins and Boulder Canyon  have become a leading tribute to John Denver’s enduring legacy.

Celebrate the legacy. Relive the music. Share the memories.

Vance’s gravel-edged voice and intimate storytelling draw on a life shaped by his preacher father and years spent between the American South and the Scottish Highlands.
