Tom Becker is Back Home Again at Venice Theatre

April 7, 2021 – Venice

Back again by popular demand, Tom Becker will be presenting his tribute to singer-songwriter John Denver in Venice Theatre’s Jervey Theatre. He will entertain audiences with four performances on Saturday April 10 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday April 11 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., and Monday April 12 at 7:30 p.m. Seats are $35 and are available at www.venicetheatre.org. Patrons who have questions about vouchers or gift certificates may call 941-488-1115 or email info@venicetheatre.net.

Becker’s intimate concert is a musical journey into the many facets of John Denver’s songwriting — from the foot-stomping fun of “Thank God, I’m a Country Boy,” to the tenderness of “Annie’s Song,” to the sweeping grandeur of “Rocky Mountain High” — the song that defined Denver’s life, and his passion for preserving the environment. The show also includes music and stories from Becker’s days as a member of The New Christy Minstrels, and a few Denver-inspired original songs including, “Sailor,” which was selected as the official song for the Navy Memorial Dedication in Washington, DC.

“Back Home Again, A Tribute to John Denver” is one of several shows the theatre is presenting as it reopens this spring. Also on sale are added performances of Dwight Icenhower, Up Close and Personal; the two-person musical “john & jen,” Folk Legacy Trio, and subscriptions for the 2021-2022 season. Single seats for the shows in the 2021-2022 season will go on sale June 1, 2021.

Due to COVID-19 protocols, only 132 seats are available for each performance, seats must be purchased 24 hours in advance, there will be no intermission, and the box office is not open for walk-up business.
