As if there aren't enough live shows in Branson already, there are also a number of limited engagement performances that I thought you might be interested in knowing about.

At the Oak Ridge Boys Theatre, you can see The Country Tonight Show with Guest Stars so you are actually seeing 2 great country music shows for the price of one. Here is a list of the guest stars and the dates of their performances.

A show that made a limited appearance in the RFD Theater last year is now headlining. Brule'-A Native American Experience, performs March-Dec. " Brulé is a full theatrical production combining the mesmerizing dance moves of AIRO with sensational songs of Brulé. AIRO is an acclaimed dance troupe recognized as one of the most dynamic group of Native American dancers in the country and Brulé is a four time winner of the Native American Music Awards band of the year." I saw the show last fall and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is very unique, especially in Branson.


If you are a country/bluegrass fan, you may know Ronnie Reno. Ronnie toured as an opening act and band member for Merle Haggard. He also toured with Mel Tillis, did studio work for Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty and Willie Nelson, plus he wrote hits for both Haggard and Twitty. On the bluegrass side, he spent several years as part of the group the Osborne Brothers. He will perform May 14-16 and May 30-31.


The television show, The Country Family Reunion, is going on tour and Branson is one of its stops, not once, not twice, but four times. The dates that it will appear here in Branson are:


April 18-19
June 20-21
Sept. 19-20
Nov. 7-8


Marty Stuart is someone I have actually heard of and he will be here for 2 performances only on Oct. 22 and 23. There are several other performers that I don't know, but who may very well be well known to the people who watch RFD tv. One of these is Jimmy Sturr who will be filming 20 episodes of his polka program all day on July 20-July 24. Another is Hank Williams tribute artist, David Church on Aug. 6-7 and Midwest Country Stars on March 26-27 and Oct. 20-21.


The Welk Resort will be welcoming back two familiar Branson shows. Ray Stevens will be performing from Sept. 15- Oct.23 and Tony Orlando will share the stage with the Lennon Sisters for their 3rd annual Tony Orlando and the Lennon Sisters Christmas Celebration  from Nov. - Dec.11.


New shows are being added all of the time so I will try to keep you informed of the additions. In the meantime maybe you've already spotted something that you would love to see.
