2025 Handcart Days Concert – Roy Rivers

No one relates to an audience the way Roy Rivers does. And no one personifies John Denver the way Roy does. An award winning singer songwriter in his own right, having written almost 200 to date, he also just happens to be the number one John Denver tribute artist in the world. Not only is he a gifted writer and singer he’s also an incredibly talented guitarist. These skills are also the reason he’s been asked to perform his tribute at many prestigious events and places around the world. He was invited to accept the Country Music Hall of Fame award posthumously for John Denver in Europe and was later honored to give that award to John’s mother Erma. But as far as his audiences go it’s Roy’s infectious smile, down to earth spirit and genuine love of people, coupled with his talents, that has gained him a large following. Those are traits John Denver exuded and also happen to be the same ones Roy brings to the stage.  He once said in an interview  “Every time I sing one of his songs, I sing it as if I wrote it. I honesty do.”   Attending one of his concerts you can’t help but feel that.
