CLAY COOPER CELELBRATES 25 YEARS IN BRANSON

Clay Cooper celebrates his 25th year performing in Branson, Missouri, the Entertainment Capital of the World! He and his cast of Clay Cooper’s Country Music Express have put together an all new variety show for 2011 filled with singin’, dancin’, gun-slingin’, rope-twirlin’, and good, clean comedy like you’ve never seen before! 22 veteran cast members join Clay in this high energy performance, guaranteeing fun for all ages! It’s more than COUNTRY!
Clay came to Branson in 1986 with a kid’s band known as the Texas Goldminors. Once he came to Branson, he never turned back, knowing that he had a love for playing bass and singing great country music. He performed with many Branson shows in the area, but most people remember him for his outstanding performance as bass player and host for Country Tonite where he performed for 9 years, 1994-2003.
Clay Cooper’s Country Music Express was developed in 2005 as a morning show at the Caravelle Theatre. Clay’s show consisted of twelve cast members, all being entertainers he or his wife had worked with in previous shows. He moved to his own theater, Clay Cooper Theatre, in 2007 and then again moved in 2010 to a much larger venue, right on famous Highway 76. This was an exciting move for the show, giving their guests more seating, dining opportunities, and a bigger and better production.
This year, Clay shares the stage with an even larger cast! His show consists of nine diverse dancers, who perform all styles of dance; a six piece live band known as the best band in town; New Yorker, trick-ropin’, gun-slingin’, Johnny Lonestar; the incredible percussive, comedic duo, Buckets ‘n’ Boards; Branson’s number one comedian, Matt Gumm; special guest appearances by sixteen year old, Cassidy and two year old, Caden Cooper; the up and coming comedian, seven year old Colt Cooper; and of course, CLAY!
Many people love to see Clay perform and often ask why he didn’t try for Nashville as a famous country artist. Clay has been very blessed, working in the entertainment business while still spending quality time with his wife and kids. No record deal is more special than that! As Clay celebrates his 25th anniversary, he continues to perform with a personable style, meeting and greeting his guests and laughing with them throughout his performance. Come see for yourself!
