Aspen Meadow Band: "In John's Own Words"

Mountain Chalet Aspen, 333 Durant Ave., Aspen, CO 81611

Almost all of us here have memories of hearing John live, whether in a concert setting, making a speech at one of his many symposiums, or in an intimate conversation as a friend. For 20 years now, John’s voice has been silent from saying anything new, but we would like to invite you to join us in listening to John share about moments in his life interspersed with the songs those experiences inspired him to write. “In John’s Own Words” promises to be a time of remembrance, reflection, and recalling the impact he had on us all. We invite you to join us for this special concert and sincerely hope to see you there.

Come join Chris for a celebration of John Denver's music and nature at the beautiful Nature Center at Hallam Lake in Aspen, Colorado! This concert will highlight John Denver's music about nature and the environment, as well as supporting ACES.

Aspen Meadow Band: "The Early Years"

Mountain Chalet Aspen, 333 E. Durant Ave., Aspen, CO 81611

Join us as we return to the time when John got his start; the time we all remember the influence that his smile, his outlook on life, and especially his music had on our feelings. We were young, the impact of the ‘60s was still new, and John was a fresh breeze carrying us on to a bright future. We all remember how his lyrics articulated exactly what sometimes we could not. Please feel free to close your eyes, sing along, and let your heart carry you back as we celebrate The Early Years.

Aspen Meadow Band would cordially like to invite you to a special evening of music that celebrates the wonder and fascination that John Denver had for other musicians and musical avenues. Over the years we saw John pair up or share the stage with some incredible musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Johnny Cash, Glen Cambell, Emmylou Harris, and countless others. We also heard John cover some of the most popular tunes of the times from artists like The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Chuck Berry, The Band, Pete Seeger, Steve Goodman, Buddy Holly, and James Taylor.

Our desire for this show is that you would be uplifted and brought back to many of the good times you experienced listening to the hits we’ve included and that you might be able to join in with us as we share in John’s joy and fascination for some pretty incredible musicians. To take this concept one step further, we’ve also included works by artists and bands that we know John would have loved and likely shared the stage with if he had the chance. Come ready to enjoy a pretty incredible range of music!

As usual, Aspen Meadow Band concerts are free. At this concert, there will be the opportunity to make a donation to a representative of the Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Read more about this wonderful organization below.

Please join us at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 15th at the Limelight Hotel in the Monarch Room (355 S Monarch Street, Aspen, CO 81611). We so look forward to sharing our feelings through John’s music with you all.

About the Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

For nearly 50 years, Aspen Camp has shaped the lives of thousands of Deaf and hard of hearing children across the globe. Our 17 ½ acre campus in Old Snowmass, Colorado serves as a natural playground and an experiential classroom amidst the stunning terrain of the Maroon Bells Wilderness. Beyond the scope of an unforgettable outdoor experience, Aspen Camp’s extensive curriculum encourages increased self-esteem, self-identity, leadership skills, and friendship.

Deaf children have little control over their circumstances, particularly because they are unable to easily and consistently access communication surrounding them. The lack of social identity coupled with inadequate communication creates threats to self-esteem and as a result, Deaf people are inclined to hold under-developed and negative self-perceptions.

At Aspen Camp, our highly trained and motivated staff share common backgrounds and experiences with our participants and serve as both advocates and role models. We do not address hearing “impairment,” but rather, focus on each child’s holistic development and well-being.

Our comprehensive activities and curriculum allow children to explore their own identity through social interaction, art and theater, wilderness expeditions, teambuilding activities, and opportunities for leadership. The positive and consistent outcome of our programs is increased efficacy, self-esteem, leadership skills, social proficiencies, critical thinking skills, positive values, decision making, language education, and identity.
