BUCYRUS—The Crawford County Community Concert Association brings John Denver Tribute artist Ted Vigil to Bucyrus on Thursday, October 12 to “kick off” its 2023-2024 Season. Ted Vigil is a singer, songwriter and tribute artist. He was born in Seattle and raised in the Olympia area. He has been performing from the age of ten throughout school in concert, symphonic and jazz bands developing his talents as a drummer and singer.In 1990, he began writing, recording and performing his original compositions. In 2006, Ted won the national title for “Talent Quest” in Laughlin Nevada. After his win, he began to plan a John Denver Tribute show.
In 2010, Ted performed with John Denver’s Lead guitarist Steve Weisberg and Eddie Kilgallon, keyboard player for award-winning bands “Ricochet” and “Montgomery Gentry”.
Ted shares his passion for bringing people together with his music, drawing in audiences of all ages. His love for people, family and communities working together for great causes continues to be his main inspiration.
For the last several years, Ted Vigil has been touring the country with tribute shows and providing the late singer’s fans a night of musical memories. Vigil not only physically resembles the late singer but also perfectly captures how Denver would sing and perform right down to every intonation.
Preferring rock music when he was younger, creating a John Denver tribute show wasn’t always the musical road Vigil was on. However, he couldn’t escape many noticing the resemblance to Denver, who died in a plane crash in 1997. He was only 53.
Performing was his passion until slowly, things changed. After getting married and having children, he took a break from the stage and worked as a truck driver. Through the years, his music style also changed. Once his children were older, Vigil started performing again, and the Denver look-alike found his musical style meshing with the legends more and more.
Vigil will be performing the songs that John Denver made famous beginning, 7:00 PM Tuesday, October 12 at the Bucyrus Elementary School Auditorium, 245 Woodlawn Ave., Bucyrus. Doors open at 6;30 PM.
Great seats are still available for this exciting show.
