Have you ever encountered someone who bears a striking resemblance to a famous celebrity? Let me introduce you to Ted Vigil, a singer and songwriter who not only looks remarkably similar to the late John Denver, but also possesses a talent for capturing the essence of Denver’s iconic music.
Ted’s journey as a John Denver tribute artist began when he worked as a karaoke host. People couldn’t help but notice his uncanny resemblance to the legendary musician, often requesting him to sing Denver’s greatest hits. Growing up with a mother who adored John Denver’s music, Ted was intimately familiar with the melodies that shaped his childhood.
In 2006, Ted decided to take a leap and entered a look-alike contest as John Denver. His victory in the National Celebrity Look-alike Talent Quest opened doors for him to pursue a career paying tribute to the music and legacy of John Denver. Since then, he has been touring with his John Denver tribute show, captivating audiences with his remarkable similarity to the late singer.
When you watch Ted perform, it’s hard to believe that he isn’t the real John Denver. His dedication to keeping the spirit of Denver alive is evident in every song he sings. While Ted may not possess the same depth and power in his voice as the original artist, his remarkable resemblance and passion for the music make for a captivating experience.
Ted’s tribute show has garnered immense success, with sold-out venues in Kansas and Pennsylvania. He has even had the honor of performing for John Denver’s Windstar Foundation in Aspen, Colorado, not once but twice. Touring and performing with his four-piece backing band is not just a great time for Ted; it also brings back cherished memories for the audience, reminding them of the beautiful music that John Denver left behind.
Initially, Ted had reservations about using Denver’s image for his own profit and calling it a tribute. However, after winning first place in a Nevada music contest, where he sang “Rocky Mountain High” with little preparation, he realized that he could honor John Denver’s legacy by sharing his remarkable talent. Ted hopes to bring joy to those who loved John Denver and showcase his dedication as a heartfelt tribute.
