Will Kruger Singer Songwriter Tribute Show

Hello
My Singer/Songwriter Tribute Show to the music of John Denver, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot and Paul Simon for your upcoming season To give you some statistics on the success of my show, we sold out both Singer Songwriter shows at the Belfry Music Theatre in Williams Bay Wisconsin Aug 19th and 20th 2016. In August of 2015, I volunteered to do a John Denver Tribute to help raise funds for the Historic Belfry Music Theatre, it was the first show there in 14 years and was a sold out performance.
From the success of that show, the Belfry Music Theatre ask me again the following year to bring a slightly different performance showcasing other classic singer-songwriters Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor as well as John Denver

For this show, we sold out and all tickets were purchased beforehand with none available at the door. More recently I did this show Jan 26th at Sun City Del Webb Huntley, From the success of my shows at the Belfry of 500 in ticket sales and 450 people at an outdoor Conservation District Concert I did June 3rd, and 300 Sun City. I think I have a unique and flexible tribute model. People that come to my concerts have been thoroughly entertained according to box office feedback from Eventbright ticketing surveys
With the success of these shows, I’m looking to bring this show to even larger audiences. My show starts at $3500 depending on seating capacity + Lodging and travel for three

Will Kruger. Guitarist, singer/songwriter, and entertainer, singing to sold out crowds. Will brings a unique sense of clarity and a strong emphasis to the lyrical content of his selection of songs.

He has toured nationally in California, Nevada, Colorado, Arkansas, Tennessee and throughout the Midwest. As solo artist Will has performed at various house concerts, libraries, conservation events, coffee houses and auditoriums. He has shared the stage with CCM legend Randy Stonehill and John Denver tribute artist Roy Rivers.

As well as a guest spot at Music City Smoke House.
Will has always been attracted to the simplicity, message, and melodies of folk music accompanied by the acoustic guitar. More recently his love of the music of Peter Paul & Mary has lead him to a dream position as Noel Paul Stookey in the nationally touring premier tribute group “Peter Paul & Mary Alive” along with band mates Joan Brown and Peter Gordon
His compassion for the music of John Denver, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot and Paul Simon has inspired Will to perform a "Singer Songwriter Tribute” show to sold out crowds at the Belfry Music Theatre in Williams Bay WI..
