THE JOHN DENVER ESTATE PRESENTS: THE OFFICIAL JOHN DENVER CELEBRATION CONCERT

** PRODUCTION NOTES – 2017 **

Hello, Below are a few notes that may answer some of your questions about the upcoming show –

• The performance features five members of John Denver’s band performing on stage (sax/flute, guitars, piano, bass & drums). Positioned behind/above the band will be a video screen which will show John performing. John’s vocal & guitar parts have been isolated and the band will perform along with him. We DO NOT travel with video screen OR projector. The screen & projector will be back lined EACH NIGHT unless the venue already has screen & projector in house. PLEASE advance this portion in detail with our video contact listed below as our lead singer is on the screen being used.)

• Each night the promoter is paying for a string quartet (cello, viola, 2 x violins) which will be sourced by yourselves. The string quartet’s riser/stool/all other back line needs are INCLUDED on our back line list.

Please provide local transport sufficient for 10 people + personal luggage and instruments. We are not carrying ANY backline OR video equipment, except hand held instruments (guitars, etc). We are 10 people traveling: 5 x band 1 x Tour manager 1 x FOH engineer 1 x Video/LD 1 x Monitors/backline 1 x band spouse

• We will have our own tour laminates, but would like to use house passes for any local crew, media & aftershow guests. There are no official meet & greets scheduled, and we will just have the band guests come backstage aftershow.

• We will need a baby grand or grand piano for this show. Please let us know immediately if one is not available in house. The piano will need to be professionally tuned before sound check and again prior to show time.

• We will need the venue to provide the drum riser (8’ x 8’ x 1’ carpeted ) and the string riser ( 12’ x 6’ x 1’ carpeted)

• We will also need four (4) tall bar stools (no arms) and eight (8) adjustable music stands with lights.

• The tour does not carry any audio, soundboards, DI’s, mics or supplemental lighting. • Some band members will be using back line supplied in-ear monitor system, and some

(including strings) will be on wedges. Monitor board should be positioned stage left if at all possible.

• We will not require spotlights or spot ops for this show. • Please let the tour manager know in advance if a runner is NOT scheduled for the show.
