“I heard ‘Sunshine On My Shoulders’ by John Denver for the first time on the radio when I was twelve years old. From that moment I knew that I wanted to do the same thing John was doing… perform songs that I would write for as many people as I could reach” says Lucinda of her “a ha” moment into the music world. “I bought a John Denver songbook with guitar chords, stole my brother’s guitar and 3 days later I had taught myself how to play and never looked back.” Lucinda found a relationship with Denver’s music in his desire to change the world’s perspective on nature, world hunger, conservation, the ocean, and our natural resources. As an avid mountain climber, cross country skier and conservationist herself, it all hit home with Lucinda. Though she never got to meet Denver in person, Lucinda’s career as an award-winning songwriter and vocalist paralleled his career in many ways. “It seems so many of my successes were mentored by watching the way he navigated his career. I have dreamed of doing a songs and stories show about John since I was a teenager. I wanted so much for people to discover more than his boyish personality cultivated by the media. He was incredibly passionate about world causes and our humanity, he did a lot of work in Washington DC, the space programs and world hunger while being a person dealing with many problems of his own. There was such beauty in his compositions with most having and underlying longing for acceptance. I related to that on so many levels. I am looking forward to telling the story of his life and music through the eyes of someone he inspired. I am honored that those eyes are mine.” The Music is You – The Music of John Denver featuring national recording Artist Lucinda Rowe is a special benefit performance for the McCall Center for Behavioral Health and Central Naugatuck Valley Help, Inc.
