Let me introduce you to singer and songwriter Ted Vigil. Have you ever encountered someone who resembles a well-known celebrity in both appearance and voice? Although Ted had always loved rock music, he had no idea how much his uncanny resemblance to the late John Denver would affect the rest of his life.
While working as a karaoke host, Ted first gained attention for his uncanny resemblance to the legendary John Denver. Ted was more than happy to comply with people’s repeated requests for him to perform Denver’s well-known hits. Ted was familiar with John Denver’s music from a young age because his mother was a huge fan.
Ted took a risk and signed up for a John Denver lookalike contest in 2006. He was shocked to learn that he had won the National Celebrity Look-Alike Talent Quest. His motivation to pursue a career honoring John Denver’s music and legacy was increased by this victory.
Ted has since been touring with his tribute to John Denver, playing some of Denver’s most well-known songs. It’s how he pays tribute to the late singer and keeps his memory alive. It’s difficult to believe Ted isn’t the real John Denver when you see him perform. The similarities are startling.
Ted captivates audiences with his striking resemblance to the original John Denver, even though Ted’s voice may not be as deep and powerful. His tribute performance has enjoyed tremendous success, with Kansas and Pennsylvania venues both being sold out. He has even had the chance to perform twice for John Denver’s Windstar Foundation in Aspen, Colorado.
Ted, of course, had his doubts about using Denver’s name for his own gain while claiming it to be a tribute. But after taking first place in a Nevada music competition where he performed “Rocky Mountain High” without much practice, he understood that he could pay tribute to John Denver’s legacy by using his extraordinary talent. Ted aspires for his commitment to being recognized as a heartfelt tribute for his ability to make those who adored John Denver smile.
With his four-piece backing band, Ted enjoys traveling and performing. In addition to being a lot of fun for him, the performance brings back a lot of pleasant memories for the audience by reminding them of the lovely music that John Denver left behind.
