Clatskanie Arts Commission presents "A Rocky Mountain Christmas"

On Sunday, Dec. 7, at 3 p.m. at the Birkenfeld Theatre, the Clatskanie Arts Commission’s 36th performing arts series presents Ted Vigil’s “A Rocky Mountain Christmas: A John Denver Tribute.” The Birkenfeld Theatre is part of the Clatskanie Cultural Center, located at 75 S. Nehalem St. Dust off your fancy boots and warm up your vocal cords. You will likely leave the concert singing and spiritually uplifted.‍ Ted’s gift for the music and polished and energetic performing style create a warm, delightful evening for the whole family to enjoy. ‍

You’ll hear those great Denver lyrics; not just “Rocky Mountain High,” “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” and “Leaving on A Jet Plane,” but also the sounds of Grandma, Mathew, Annie, Eagles, Hawks, and Horses, too! Ted has been performing John Denver's music all over the U.S. for many years, often appearing with Denver’s lead guitarist from 1973-197, Steve Weisberg, as well as Eddie Kilgallon of Montgomery Gentry and Ricochet.

Ted bears an uncanny physical and musical resemblance to John Denver. When he takes the stage and begins to sing, the audience is transported back in time. Ted’s terrific gift for the music and polished and energetic performing style make for a cozy country evening through some of the world’s most popular music. ‍

Tickets for the show are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors/students, and $25 for children. Tickets are available online at clatskaniearts.org or by calling Elsa at 503-728-3403.

After “A Rocky Mountain Christmas”, the Clatskanie Arts Commission returns Friday, Jan. 23, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. with Pipeline Vocal Project: A Cappella Queens of Alaska. Pipeline Vocal Project (PVP) strives to spread the love of contemporary a cappella by performing original, innovative arrangements of pop songs and involving the crowd in rhythmic and harmonic participation. On Sunday, March 8, 2026 at 3 p.m., Brownsmead Flats will perform at the Clatskanie Cultural Center. Come enjoy these acoustic performers play traditional and original songs in that famous Crabgrass tradition (bluegrass with a maritime flavor) just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
