What sets the band apart from so many other bands is the soulful, aggressive vocal style of leader, David Nace.  His brother, Jimmy also shares the spotlight, with a guitar that flows with the same soulful emotion.  The band’s bassist and violinist is Tim Williams and in 1996, the band added keyboardist T.J. Erhardt.   The Nace Brothers are musically unstoppable, touring 220 dates over 50,000 miles a year and Branson Landing is thrilled to have them back in the Branson area – performing LIVE at the Branson Landing.

Don’t miss The Nace Brothers in concert during our Labor Day Weekend Concert Series benefiting our local MDA Chapter and Jerry’s Kids.  The Nace Brothers will perform at 8:00pm on Saturday. September 5th - right in front of the Branson Landing Fountains.

Clay Cooper has been performing in Branson for years and in 2005, Clay decided to put together a show of his own – which can now be found at The Clay Cooper Theatre.  Clay Cooper’s Country Music Express is an all-new, high energy show full of great singing, dancing, comedy and much more and he’ll be bringing parts of his show to Branson Landing.

Branson Landing is excited to welcome - Country Music Star, COLLIN RAYE for a special LIVE performance!  Collin Raye has Fifteen #1 Hits and 24 Top Ten Hits and is currently performing with the sensational cast of Country Tonite at The Oak Ridge Boys Theatre in Branson - NOW through October 18th.    Raye first attracted Nashville's attention as the lead vocalist on a string of independent singles in the 1980s.  Epic Records signed Raye as a solo act in 1990 and a year later, the nostalgic ballad "Love, Me" hit No. 1, and by 2000, he charted 21 Top 10 hits for Epic. His first four studio albums, as well as his Greatest Hits, have been certified platinum.  Some of his best-known hits include “Couldn’t Last a Minute,” “I Can Still Feel You,” "Little Rock," and "I Think About You.”

Also joining Clay Cooper on stage is none other than Branson’s Sweetheart – BARBARA FAIRCHILD!  Barbara Fairchild has been entertaining since she was 5 years old. The phrase "to see her is to love her," is really true of Barbara.  Barbara's career in country music accelerated in 1973. She was nominated for a Grammy when her song, "The Teddy Bear Song" reached # 1 on the charts. She has had many hits following "The Teddy Bear Song", including "Baby Doll" and "Kid Stuff".  Barbara has been an important member of the Branson community since 1992 when she moved here to perform in the Mel Tillis Show. In 1993, she started producing and performing in her own show where she has performed for the past 11 years. Barbara and her husband Roy now tour throughout the year performing at churches, concerts and other venues throughout the United States.

Another special performance on stage will be by ROY ROGERS, JR. (better known as Dusty) who is the eldest natural son of famed western stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. He has been performing on his own and with his parents, since 1970. Beginning in 2003, Dusty brought his entire family to Branson, MO., and has been performing full time inside the Happy Trails Theater ever since. In 2008, his son Dustin joined with him on stage for a continuation of the Rogers family entertainment legacy.  At the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Happy Trails Theater & Attraction, you'll also find family photos dating back to Roy and Dale's childhood, colorful costumes, parade saddles, memorabilia from the silver screen and television, artifacts from Roy's real-life safari adventures, fan mail, comic strips, Roy and Dale's Remington collection, tributes to his friends and sidekicks, and much, much more!

Just added to the lineup of entertainment, will be a special performance by THE WORLD FAMOUS PLATTERS! This is your chance to relive the magic of Motown - with such classics as Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, My Prayer, On the Boardwalk and more.  The World Famous Platters are performing their 14th smash season at the Starlite Theatre in Branson with a show that celebrates the Best of the World Famous Platters and the 50th Anniversary of Motown - with tributes to the great Ray Charles and Etta James.   This special performance promises to take you back to hot cars and drive-in movies, sock hops and slow dancing – sure to have everyone, singing and dancing!

Branson Landing’s Concert Series Grand Finale will conclude with a very special performance by the LIVERPOOL LEGENDS - four talented musicians and actors who were hand-picked by Louise Harrison – sister of the late George Harrison of The Beatles – to recreate the band that changed the face of music forever!  2006 found LIVERPOOL LEGENDS starring in their first showcase in Branson, Missouri. In an unprecedented first-year double award, they were voted Best New Show and Best Band; no minor accomplishment in this Midwest entertainment capital where 140+ shows fiercely compete to provide the best show for their audiences. In 2007, they returned to Branson and, once again, received the Branson Critic fan's award for Best Band as well as the prestigious Branson Critic Editor's Choice for the Best Show in Branson.

The LIVERPOOL LEGENDS perform songs spanning the entire career of The Beatles and on through the solo years. With precise attention to every musical detail, the Liverpool Legends will make you feel like you are watching the real thing! Together, these four lads will bring you the "Ultimate Beatles Tribute Show!"
This concert promises to showcase some of the great talent and STARS we have right here in Branson – so, don’t miss Branson Landing’s Concert Series Grand Finale with Clay Cooper & Special Guest Stars – an evening full of BIG Stars, BIG Music & BIG Fireworks!

SALVATION ARMY BELL RINGERS

The Salvation Army Bell Ringers will be at the Branson Landing on Saturday, November 28th from 10am to 8pm.  Please give this holiday season to help those less fortunate.

The Salvation Army works every day to make life better for countless people in our community, changing one life at a time.  A tradition since 1891, the familiar red kettle at Christmas not only collects funds for seasonal assistance to individuals and families in need, but also enables the Salvation Army to operate year-round.
