In 2010 Chris Bannister began touring with his solo show ‘The Music of John Denver’ celebrating the life and work of the legendary singer/songwriter in his own unique way.
Unlike “lookalike” tributes, Chris’s uncanny ability to recreate the sound of John Denver has brought him widespread acclaim. It is a testament to his talent that Chris now has an international reputation and no surprise to learn that he regularly performs in Aspen Colorado to sell out audiences.Chris has worked alongsideWrecking Crew saxophonist and flautist Jim Horn who was the longest serving musician in Denver’s band. Chris also worked with John Denver’s legendary lead guitar player Steve Weisberg, who played on hits like ‘Annie’s Song’ ‘Back Home Again’ and ‘Grandma’s Feather Bed’. Steve sadly passed away last year and, in recognition of Chris’s exceptional talent and for his work in honouring the music of John Denver, Steve bequeathed his 1937 Epiphone guitar to Chris in his Will.
Chris has recorded several John Denver radio specials for the BBC and toured the show extensively for the last seven years.
After an amazing show in 2016, Chris is really looking forward to returning to Inverness for another great night. The show will include all the hits including Annie’s Song, Take Me Home Country Roads, Leaving On A Jet Plane plus many other favourites.
