Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms: those Moms that we love so much, Moms that are no longer with us are so missed, Moms to pet kids, and all the Moms in all capacities!    We thought we  would dedicate the following to all the Mothers today and special women in our lives.   John Denver's "Back Home Again" creates that visual and feelings of the comfort of going home to the places and people we love.  Hopefully, we will all be together soon in the future.  In the meantime, stay strong, safe and well!

We are hoping you are staying safe and well during the COVID-19 pandemic.   As we can't be on tour now and with all everyone, we'll be sharing a few videos from some of our past concerts, that we hope you will enjoy in the weeks ahead, with maybe a few surprises thrown in!  Music is the universal language and helps provide comfort in difficult times.    Together, we will get through this together.

For everyone doing their part and those on the front lines battling this pandemic, we thought we would share our rendition of John Denver's "What One Man Can Do."   

Dear friends,

Due to the ever threatening increase of the Coronavirus across the United States and the world, please watch our schedule for possible cancellations and postponements, updates,  and rescheduling dates.   Both the theaters and ourselves want to ensure that our audience members remain safe, and that is the utmost priority and concern. 

Currently, our Boot Barn Hall Concert in Colorado Springs on March 13, 2020 has been postponed.  We will update the schedule as soon as we know a new date for the concert.   

Thank you for all your support.   We are all in this together, and we are sincerely hoping that you, your family and friends remain safe during this current health crisis. 

We will be touring in March 2020!  We will be paying tribute to John Denver in Arizona, California, and Colorado in March!

Live in around the Modesto, California area or know someone in the area?  This will be our first time to be at the State Theatre in Modesto, California, and it would be great to see you there.  Bring your friends and family and help us spread the word about the show!   

Be sure to check out the status of the shows in Arizona and Colorado as the tickets are getting very limited for the concerts as of this date.   There are current sold out shows at the Community Performance and Arts Center in Green Valley, AZ, as well as the Boot Barn Hall in Colorado Springs is sold out, and one of our shows at the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse with limited tickets remaining for the other shows.  You will find updates on our Concert Schedule Page and our Facebook page.   

We look forward to seeing you in March!!!  

We have officially kicked off 2020 and are back on the road!    To start off 2020, Chris did a solo show and played to a sellout crowd at Legacy on Main Street in Eufaula, OK at the beginning of February!   

We hit the road over Valentine's Day weekend to play 3 sold-out shows at the Greenville Theatre in Greenville, South Carolina!   Wow, what a fantastic time for our first time in that region!   We had three great audiences and the staff at the Greenville Theatre are great!  Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome, and it was a pleasure to perform for everyone!!!

From all of us at Chris Collins and Boulder Canyon, we would like to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas and peace, happiness and good health in 2020!

We also want to thank all of you that attended our John Denver Christmas Concerts in Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Illinois and New Jersey on our tour this year.   Thank you for celebrating the holidays with us and for being such fantastic audiences.  Our thanks also go out to all the theaters and venues and their great staffs, sound, and lighting crews at our shows.    

And thanks to John Denver for the gift he gave to us of his music and legacy. 

We look forward to seeing you in 2020!
