Rocky Mountain High Experience: John Denver Christmas
2025-12-26 19:00 - 21:00 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Kauai Community College Performing Arts Center, 3-1901 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI, 96766, United States
Rocky Mountain High Experience® John Denver Christmas Starring Rick Schuler, coming to the Hawaiian Islands with a kickoff Friday, Dec 26th, 7pm at the Kauai Performing Arts Center.
John Denver was wildly famous through the 70s and 80s selling millions of records and packing out arenas around the world. He was famous for his 29 television specials including numerous annual Christmas specials. This touring show consists of solo guitarist Rick Schuler in an acoustic setting. Just him and his guitar on a stool, no tracks. Rick is the most authentic John Denver tribute artist in America and has the largest and most popular Christmas show touring. He’s also an accomplished guitarist and song writer though he usually only performs one or two of his own compositions at each performance. It’s important to note he is not an impersonator. Rick will be performing a mixture of John Denver’s hit songs, his Christmas songs, and holiday classics.
