Singer-songwriter Vigil was born in Seattle and raised in the Olympia area. He has been performing since the age of 10 in concert, symphonic and jazz bands.
In 2006, he went to Laughlin, Nev., to compete in the Talent Quest contest and took first place with his portrayal of John Denver. He has twice played for Denver’s own “Windstar Foundation” in Aspen, Colo.
Vigil was awarded the Rising Legend Award by the National Traditional Country Music Association in 2012. He also performed with the late Steve Weisberg, Denver’s lead guitar player from the 1970s.
Last year, Vigil toured 20 cities in Australia with the Kings of Country Tour with a Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and John Denver tribute.
He now is touring the country performing with his new tribute to Denver, which includes video, stories and the best of Denver’s songs at performing art centers, casinos and theaters.
