John Denver was an American folk singer and songwriter who became one of the most popular singers of the 1970s. By 1969, he had released his first album, Rhymes and Reasons, which included the hit song “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” His breakthrough album, Poems, Prayers and Promises, came out in 1971 and contained the single “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” The string of hits became virtually ceaseless after that, including “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” “Annie’s Song,” “Back Home Again,” “Thank God I’m a Country Boy,” and “I’m Sorry/Calypso.”
John Denver passed away in October of 1997. In the years since, there have been a number of tribute acts that have kept his music alive, but never before has there been a production of this caliber, presented by his estate. For the first time in fifteen years, audiences are experiencing John Denver in concert, performing hit songs from throughout his career.
The concert features projected video of Denver performing, backed live by former members of his touring band and an accompanying string section, which includes legendary saxophonist, Jim Horn. “We’re playing the songs along with him, note for note, to his video,” said Horn, who was with Denver on and off from 1978 to 1995. “I think people will really enjoy seeing some old footage of John… it will bring back a lot of memories.”
The tour kicked off February 1, and fans of all ages have been raving about the experience, saying:
– “Feels like John is here with us and brings back clear joyful memories of the two actual times I saw him live at the Garden and Nassau Coliseum in the mid 70s!”
– “For one night, he was with us again!!! What a wonderful show!”
– “Loved, loved the show tonight. For a while John was alive again up there for me”
A two time Grammy Award winner and member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, John Denver recorded and released around 300 songs, 200 of which he composed. He had four #1 hits, was the first American to perform in the People’s Republic of China, and was honored by the State of Colorado when his hit “Rocky Mountain High” was selected as their state song.

Tap any member of The Time Jumpers on the shoulder and the face that turns to greet you will be that of one who’s made major contributions to the richness and vigor of country music.
The current edition of The Time Jumpers includes 11 members, each a master of his/her instrument. They include the evening’s Special Guest Vince Gill (vocals, electric, and acoustic guitars,) “Ranger Doug” Green of Riders In The Sky (vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar,) Paul Franklin (steel guitar,) Brad Calbin (upright bass,) Larry Franklin (fiddle,) Andy Reiss (electric guitar,) Dawn Sears (vocals,) Kenny Sears (vocals, fiddle,) Joe Spivey (fiddle, vocals,) Jeff Taylor (accordion, piano,) and Billy Thomas (drums, vocals.)
The band’s current, self-titled release on Rounder Records has been nominated for two Grammy Awards — Best Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group—Country, and Best Country Album. Just recently, The Time Jumpers were named one of the artists in the Nashville Scene’s 13th Annual Country Music Critics’ Poll. The band is featured in both the Album and Duos and Groups categories.
The Time Jumpers was established in Nashville in 1998 by a group of first-rate studio musicians who wanted to spend some spare time jamming with their equally gifted buddies. The notion of building a rabidly devoted following was the last thing on their minds, but that’s exactly what happened. As word spread along Music Row that something special was happening, big stars began dropping by, some to sit in with the band, others just to enjoy the vast array of country, swing, jazz and pop standards The Time Jumpers rejoiced in playing.

Internationally-recognized illusionist Jason Bishop will bring his larger than life illusions and award-winning sleight of hand talent to AMT on Friday, March 1.
The Jason Bishop Show is the largest touring illusion show in the US. Jason and his assistant, Kim Hess (originally from nearby Reading, PA,) give a high energy, highly-interactive performance set to an upbeat blend of rock and pop music. With exclusive large illusions and “close-up” magic captured on live cameras and projected onto large LCD screens, The Jason Bishop Show is designed to entertain, engage and enthrall audiences of all ages.
Currently the only illusionist in the US to perform the rare Double Levitation, Plasma illusion and Op-Art on tour, Jason is known for his state-of-the-art, modern and accessible magic. A big hit at every show is when he transforms a $1 bill into a $100 bill — and generously gives it to one lucky person in the crowd. Audience members can expect to be captivated by Jason’s world-class magical skill, unique style, and signature sense of humor.
The Jason Bishop Show has appeared at notable venues including Disney Cruise Lines and Celebrity Cruise Lines in Europe and Alaska, the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and in Las Vegas. For more information about Jason and this incredible show, click here to visit his website.
