February 9, 2008 by admin
Filed under Branson MO
The Branson area features a variety of live music shows and variety offerings to ensure a grand time of entertainment in the Ozarks, but for those looking for something truly magical you’ll need to turn to one of Branson’s many men of mystery for illusory tricks and other forms of awe-inspiring magic. Below, we’ve listed the shows in Branson that predominately feature magic to help ensure that enchantment is part of your next vacation.
Trained under magical legends Siegfried & Roy, Kirby VanBurch brings a first-class time of magic and showmanship to Branson through his unique show. Kirby’s wife Bambi and the amazing white-tiger Kirbam both assist Kirby throughout the performance as he wows the audience with a wide range of illusions. From simple sleight of hand to major disappearing acts, you’ll see it all with Kirby VanBurch.
Bart Rockett Show
Combining illusion with comedy, ventriloquism and sheer entertainment skills, Bart Rockett presents a time of magic that the entire family will enjoy. From being featured on the likes of ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX to having his own nationally syndicated television show, Bart has already proven himself on a national stage, and is now entertaining Branson visitors with the same amazing tricks and sharp wit!
Justin Flom’s Magic Parlor
Compared to names such as Kirby, Justin is still new to the Branson magic scene, but he’s quickly shown visitors that he deserves to be mentioned with the top acts of the area through his impressive illusions and charming stage presence. With the help of his pet duck, Juan, Justin will stun you with a variety of tricks and illusions. Before Branson, Justin was entertaining the world over while traveling with mission trips, and is now settling into Branson to offer the Ozarks his talents on a daily basis!
The Grand Ole Opry Experience in Nashville, TN
February 7, 2008 by admin
Filed under Nashville TN
Nashville’s most notable attractions, but as one of the premiere live concert series in American history! Every week the Opry invites thousands of visitors into its house, and is broadcasted into the homes of millions! Aside from its long-standing legacy, the Opry showcases a veritable who’s who of country music for an always stellar, and unpredictable, time of only quality country. So as you begin to plan for your next visit to Nashville, be sure to keep the Grand Ole Opry in mind. Even if you’ve been a dozen times before, you’re sure to find a completely fresh show to entertain yet again!
Throughout February, the Grand Ole Opry will be hosted at its original home, the Ryman Auditorium. Though the show will still keep the same basic format, and include the always electric atmosphere of live radio, the Opry will also carry the tradition and charm that undeniably comes with performing in the historic Ryman Auditorium. While seeing the Grand Ole Opry in its new Opry House is a remarkable experience, there is something extra special about seeing the live country showcase unfold in the hallowed halls of the Ryman.
Ryman Auditorium Self-Guided Tours
Those that would like to get a full experience of the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry would do well to take a self-guided tour of the building. Along the tour you’ll not only walk the historic Ryman, but also browse a variety of authentic memorabilia tied to the Opry’s many years in the building. Cited as “The Mother Church of Country Music,” the Ryman Auditorium is a must-see experience for all country fans visiting Nashville.
While this concert series is still a ways off, running from June 26 – July 31, it’s never too early to start planning for an event as popular as the Ryman Bluegrass Nights. Throughout its duration, the Ryman Bluegrass Nights will host select performances featuring the biggest names in bluegrass music. This year’s line-up includes Earl Scruggs, Vince Gill, Rhonda Vincent, Cherryholmes, Ricky Skaggs and Ralph Stanley, ensuring that each and every performance will be a solid look at the history and present state of bluegrass music.
