Branson Country USA - June 8, 2018

This week we welcome, from the Branson Famous Baldknobbers, Brandon Mabe!

In 1959, the four Mabe brothers Bob, Bill, Lyle, and Jim began performing twice a week in a converted roller skating rink on the Lake Taneycomo lakefront entertaining visiting fishermen at night. Little did they know in the late 1950's that they would become the founding fathers of Branson's music show industry.

The brothers combined popular country tunes with Ozark Mountain music and threw in great, hillbilly comedy to entertain growing Branson audiences.

In 1969, the Baldknobbers, as the brothers called themselves, built a theater on Highway 76.

Now 59 years later, the big-red curtain raises every night at 8pm. to entertain Branson visitors. You can check out the Branson Famous Baldknobbers at their website: Balknobbers.com, or their theatre at 417-231-4999.

Branson Country USA is co-hosted by Grand Country nuts, Jamie Haage, as Jim Dandy, and Mike Patrick! With a rotating roster of talent, the show features special guest stars from the rich Branson entertainment industry. From celebrities such as Mickey Gilley and Collin Raye to the up-and-coming stars of tomorrow, the weekly line-up is always a hit!

Audiences also enjoy the incredible voices of Jackie Brown, Melody Hart and the power harmonies of New South, both weekly regulars on the show. The entire show is backed by the dynamic Grand Band.
