[SHOW GAL]

Branson Country USA - August 9, 2019

This week we welcome back to our stage the White River Wranglers, from Dolly Parton's Stampede!
The White River Wranglers take guests on a musical journey with early country, Southern Gospel, hard-driving bluegrass and even classic rock favorite "Sweet Home Alabama"; songs everyone knows and will sing along to. Appearing in Dolly Parton's Stampede's Carriage Room an hour before the main arena spectacular are three brothers with an amazing mix of hard-driving acoustics and heartfelt melodies.
"Each show we are performing to more than a thousand folks so we are meeting some wonderful friends from all over the world," said Steven Baldridge, White River Wranglers. "With seven days a week and sometimes two, three shows a day, our instruments and strings must be in tune to meet this task and my brothers and I are bringing our A game. We are just so humbled and honored to be a part of such a world class show."
Originally from Okmulgee, Oklahoma and descendants of the Creek Indian Tribe, now their families reside in Branson, Missouri, performing their own music, just as they did when the family would gather at grandmother's house for all day singings.

Dolly Parton's Stampede continues to build on the tradition of quality entertainment and impressive showmanship as it enters its 25th season. The show's 32 magnificent horses and talented cast of top-notch trick riders remain the heart of the production, delivering a rousing display of equestrian skills and family-friendly comedy.
In addition to the spectacular show, every ticket to Dolly Parton's Stampede includes a delicious feast. Known as "The World's Most Visited Dinner Attraction," Dolly Parton's Stampede's signature four-course meal includes original creamy vegetable soup and a hot homemade biscuit, a tender whole rotisserie chicken, hickory-smoked barbequed pork loin, buttery corn on the cob, herb-basted potato, Dolly Parton's Stampede's very own specialty dessert and unlimited beverages including Pepsi products. Vegetarian meals are available upon request.
Dinner shows are performed up to five times daily. Show times and reservations are available by calling 1-800-520-5544 or visiting DPStampede.com.
