Branson on the Road: Christmas Style
What do you get when you bring together a mandolin, banjo, guitar, upright slap bass, rhinestone costumes, hilarious comedy and great classic country, bluegrass, rockabilly and gospel music? Branson On The Road: Christmas Style! Enjoy this special show at the State Theater on Sat., Dec. 1, 7:30pm.Branson On The Road has over 20 years of experience of performing at the top theatres in Branson on the famous 76 Country Music Boulevard (known as "The Strip"), and is the first national touring show named for the famous city. The show delivers the Branson traditions of good, clean, family fun wherever they go...and they go all over the US and beyond!
Ross Summers, President of the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce said, "We are proud to have Branson On The Road as a traveling ambassador for Branson. We encourage you to attend or bring a group to a wonderful Branson On The Road concert in your area".
Branson On The Road is the kind of show most people thought was long gone in this day of overproduced music, overused special effects and performers singing to tracks. In the same tradition as the traveling road shows during the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry, the Louisiana Hayride and the first Branson music shows, Branson On The Road keeps you tapping, laughing and smiling. Those seeing a Branson On The Road show can not only expect great music but plenty of hilarious comedy every step of the way.
"We reside in the live music capital of the world, Branson, Missouri", said Debbie Horton, "and realized that there are many people who will never have a chance to visit Branson personally so we decided to bring our Branson stage show directly to them."
DEBBIE HORTON holds the distinction of being the only woman to have played lead guitar for the great Johnny Cash. She hosted her own show at the old Boxcar Willie Theater in Branson and has performed on the legendary GRAND OLE OPRY, the famous Louisiana Hayride and Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in Nashville. She was a radio DJ in Norfolk, Virginia and acted as MC for concerts with Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams, Jr., and the Oak Ridge Boys (just to name a few). Among her other credits, Debbie is an accomplished songwriter. She has had her songs recorded by Wanda Jackson, "Pretty Miss" Norma Jean from the Porter Wagoner show and many other country singers.
Tickets are $25 in advance and $29 at the door.
