“Concerts on the Green,” Yavapai College’s Performing Arts Center’s immensely successful outdoor summer series, returns to the Prescott Valley Theater on the Green Sunday, August 22 – as part of a four-show encore, featuring original music and tributes to John Denver, Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, and Elton John.

“So many folks at our (May 23rd) ABBAFab event were thrilled we were in Prescott Valley and having concerts,” YCPAC Director of Programming and Development Dr. Craig Ralston explained. “So, we are announcing four more concerts at the PV amphitheater in early fall.”

With four talented acts in the wings, YCPAC is taking advantage of the fine autumn weather to offer family-friendly concerts under the stars on August 22, September 5 and 19, and October 3.

Sunday, August 22 John Denver Tribute, Starring Ted Vigil at 7 p.m.

“Concerts on the Green” returns on a “Rocky Mountain High,” with John Denver Tribute Starring Ted Vigil Sunday, August 22. A gifted performer in his own right who has performed for Denver’s own Windstar Foundation, Vigil’s uncanny physical and vocal resemblance to the iconic 70’s folk icon only helps to conjure those classic hits the world has come to love, like “Sunshine on My Shoulder,” “Annie’s Song,” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
