Bransonontheroad Pre BRANSON ON THE ROAD® P.O. Box 921 Branson, Missouri 65615 Toll Free: 800-516-2373 Direct: 417-527-1849 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BRANSON SHOW SALUTES AMERICA America’s Favorite Road Show – Branson On The Road – returns to the ______________________________ with the all-new “Salute to America” show honoring our history, heroes and home. Named by the Branson Chamber of Commerce as their official traveling ambassadors, 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 only 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”. “Salute to America” is a musical celebration of songs about our countries History, Heroes and Home. The show begins with the founding of the nation and then musically moves through some of our great cities and towns with songs like “Abilene”, “Detroit City” and “Route 66”. “We honor our nation and the people who built it”, said show producer and performer, Debbie Horton. “You’re going to know nearly all of the songs we sing and be surprised too!” “Branson On The Road – Salute to America” will go on to talk about the strength of the USA and honor our veterans and military families who have given so much. The “Ragged Old Flag” begins a section of the show that looks back on a slower, nostalgic time in our nation. And let’s not forget about the comedy...Donnie Wright is the antagonizer and musical virtuoso on the stage. When “Cowboy Time” begins on the first half of the show everyone is invited to help him get through the songs of the old west. This is not to be missed. To round up this wonderful show, the group will get together for a rousing version of “I’ve Been Everywhere” done like no one has ever performed before! “That piece took us over 8 months to put together”, said Brian Capps, upright bass player and singer. “There are a couple of hundred towns mentioned in that song…I know I have been to all of them myself”. Branson On The Road – Salute to America 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. 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 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., the Oak Ridge Boys, and many more. Among her other credits, Debbie is an accomplished songwriter. She has had her songs recorded by Wanda Jackson, Norma Jean and many other country singers. Donnie Wright is an expert, sought after, respected musician, arranger and is versatile on many instruments including fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo and bass and has been part of the Branson music scene for 40 years. He provides a good deal of the comic relief on the show with his mischievous antics. Among his long list of credits are performances at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, The Presley's Show in Branson, The Pine Mountain Jamboree in Eureka Springs, and a long-standing run at The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. Donnie has been nominated for a Lifetime Honors Award for his contribution to music in the Ozarks by the National Endowments of the Arts in Washington, DC. Brian Capps plays upright bass and sings songs reminiscent of Marty Robbins and Hank Williams. Brian's latest recording reached the Top 10 on the Americana Charts and is part of the music rotation on XM Radio. Branson On The Road® is a regular featured act on the national television show, "Midwest Country" on the RFD-TV network seen in over 100 million homes. Visit www.BransonOnTheRoad.com to learn more! .

  • 1 a Conversation with Elizabeth Cook by Frank Goodman (7/2005
    A Conversation with Elizabeth Cook By Frank Goodman (7/2005, Puremusic.com) I admit it, a lot of seemingly everyday things are mysteries to me. But as I became more aware of and then deeply into the music of Elizabeth Cook, a new mystery moved up the list. Namely, how can you take a singer this great, with tunes of this caliber, who looks this gorgeous, and not be able to put it in the hoop? In this particular case, all the factors mentioned are in the extreme, so it seems like criminal ineptitude. It’s not that simple, of course. Her 2002 big label (Warners) debut Hey Y’all didn’t really see the exposure it was due, to understate the matter. It’s all too easy to deduce that it was considered too traditional, or “too Country for Country” as it’s come to be called around Music Row. On the other hand, Elizabeth’s authentically traditional country sound endeared her to the Grand Ole Opry and its fans. To date, she has appeared over 100 times on the Opry, more than many huge stars of the genre. I was fortunate enough to see her perform at a Billy Block show in town a while back, and was knocked out. Elizabeth’s manager David Macias is a friend, and he took me upstairs to meet her. She’s such a lovely and genuine person that it kind of bowls you over, you know what I mean. Her husband Tim Carroll was talking to a fan so I didn’t get to hang with him, but he’s also extremely talented, both as an artist in his own right and as her bandleader.

New and just in. Hillside Records Country Song Roundup $30 This is new recordings on the Hillside label with special guest and musical director in Justin Trevino. Justin is still on the Heart of Texas label and his 4 songs (of a very generous 21). I can’t say I have heard Kenny Seratt before but that is mainly through lack of material available more so than anything else but lo & behold if he doesn’t sound like Lefty, which is particularly weird on “Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Soul”!! He appears on 5 songs and none are less than sensational. What a voice!! Jerry Inman is also fine on three tracks. He was once voted the CMA’s Best Newcomer of the Year. Well he is close to the best on this. The remaining songs feature Curtis Potter, Darrell McCall and Ray Sanders in various trios, duos and solo spots. These are different to the “Texas Dance Hall Music” cd. Curtis Potter, who recorded a duet album on step One with Willie Nelson, is a superb Ray price style vocalist (as if I had to actually tell Y & T regulars) and is grand on “January, April & Me”.

  • Bobby Jingle Rock Helms
    Dec. 11, 1996--- A few years ago, I was walking along the main highway in Branson, Mo., lost in a flurry of prefab celebrity music theaters. Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear but a quaint shop that featured beautiful hand-carved solid oak swings and rocking chairs. They were crafted by Bobby "Jingle Bell Rock" Helms. Helms, 60, has dabbled in wood-crafting most of his life, but he didn't take it seriously until 1984, when he began working in a factory about 100 miles south of his home in Martinsville, near Indianapolis. He has designed and built desks, gliders, swings, rocking chairs, tables and even solid oak caskets that he sold to a southern Indiana factory for a cool $10,000. "They were pretty," Helms said in an interview earlier this week from his home. "We'd put a hard finish to them, they'd be real shiny. Man, you could see yourself. The entertainers in Branson loved the gliders. Ferlin Husky bought one. Mickey Gilley, Moe Bandy. They bought them to sit out on the lake. Helms was in Branson for only eight months, working with Husky ("Fallen Star," "Country Music Is Here to Stay") at the Cristy Lane Theater. After he lost sight in his right eye due to an ulcer in 1977, Helms' woodcrafting skills were affected. When he developed asthma in 1993, Helms retired from woodworking because he cannot be around dust. "Working with wood was a way of relaxing," he said. "I could make a rocking chair in three hours. And I could see pretty good out of my left eye.

  • GENE WATSON SHANACHIE RECORDS BIO 2007 If There's a List
    GENE WATSON SHANACHIE RECORDS BIO 2007 If there’s a list of the Seven Wonders of the music world somewhere, the voice of Gene Watson is surely on it. This masterful country stylist has been thrilling audiences for more than 30 years. The depth of emotion in his singing, his brilliant phrasing, his jaw-dropping range and the power in the lyrics he chooses are all factors in the awe he inspires in both fans and his musical peers. Gene Watson’s tally of 73 charted titles, 23 top-10 hits and five number- one records has led to membership in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. Radio listeners are still transfixed whenever classics like “Farewell Party,” “Fourteen Carat Mind” or “Love in the Hot Afternoon” are played. Now, at an age when most people are contemplating retirement, Gene Watson has made the record of a lifetime. In a Perfect World is a towering reminder of what great country music is supposed to sound like. “I don’t believe in half-doing anything,” says the man with the amazing voice. “If it’s something I like, I’ll give it everything I have.” His album’s title tune is a painful portrait of a man who has lost it all. Watson broods darkly in the bluesy “This Side of the Door.” “A Good Place to Turn Around” is a prayer for redemption. “She’s Already Gone” and “Like I Wasn’t Even There” are classic country weepers. On “Let Me Be the First to Go,” the vocalist aches with commitment.
