RON MATTHEWS IN CONCERT
(MDT, UTC-06)
Snowmass Chapel , 5307 Owl Creek Rd., Snowmass Village, CO 81615
From Ron Matthews: Colorado in October always brings a celebration of the life and music of JOHN DENVER -- and this year, we'll be doing it in Snowmass! You're cordially invited to join me for an evening listening to and singing together from John's wonderful, vast catalog of unique and fantastic songs. I'll be playing a 2-1/2 hour set on Thursday, Oct 3rd, sharing some of your favorite songs. Also some of MY own favorites, whether you like them or not 🙂 Joining me onstage again this year will be a few guest musicians for a song or three. Lately I've been enjoying a more simple acoustic sound, with just vocals and guitars for light accompaniment. When asked about the simple, straightforward nature of his music in an era of 70's classic rock and disco, John once said, "I prefer the art of gentle musical persuasion." That philosophy has guided my musical career and remains my favorite style. I hope you'll set aside an extra $20 so you can enjoy my show! I'd love to help make your visit to Colorado a pleasant and memorable experience, as we enjoy together some of the best music ever written -- the music of John Denver! Date and time: Thursday Oct. 3rd, 6:30-9:00 pm MDT Location: Snowmass Chapel, Snowmass Village, Colorado (General admission $20 donation. No advance sales or reserved seating - there's plenty of room! Please pay at the door - cash only in USD, please) THANK YOU so very much! Ron
