Legends in Concert is excited to announce that they will open their 2012 season at Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Theater with a new state-of-the-art stage set! The set was created by All Access Inc., a set construction company specializing in staging for touring, film & television, and special events such as movie premiers, festivals and even the Super Bowl Half-Time Show. Recently used at Madison Square Gardens during a performance by Latin Grammy Award-winning Brazilian singer/songwriter Ivete Sangalo, the set was intended to be taken on tour. However, shortly following the Madison Square Gardens performance, Sagalo canceled her tour, and thus the set was available for purchase.
Now filling the stage at Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Theater, this state-of-the-art set will give Legends in Concert a fresh look for 2012. “The energy of the show will truly be enhanced by this set. It is unlike anything I have ever seen in Branson. This will take our production to a whole new level”, says Jeannie Horton, General Manager for Legends in Concert. Legends in Concert opens on February 9th for the 2012 season and will perform shows through December 31st, 2012. Be the first to see the Legends in Concert show unlike you have EVER seen it before!

Show times are 3 & 8 p.m. For more information, call 417-335-STAR or visit www.legendsinconcert.com

Art Demonstration by Artist Don Barnes at Mount Pleasant Winery – February 4, 2012

    

We are having an art demonstration here at Mount Pleasant Winery on Feb 4th, by renowned artist Don Barnes, from Denver Colorado. The time is 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm and we will be selling wine by the glass for this event.

About Don Barnes

Don Barnes was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he lived until age twelve. He has lived in Kansas City, Los Angeles, Dallas and Denver. The last is where he met his wife and has made his home since 1976.
Although he had always been artistic, Don didn’t begin painting until 1993. His first show was a solo in 2005, which sold seven of fifteen paintings. Since that time his work has shown in galleries throughout the West. He has been juried into several national shows and has been invited three times to participate in the prestigious Nomadas del Arte’.
His friendship with gallery owner Ernest Fuller allowed Don to study the works of Rob Moore, Hollis Williford, Julie Chapman, Debora Paris and other well known artists. Likewise, with the cooperation of David Cook Fine Art, he spent much time examining the works of the Broadmoor Academy artists – John F. Carlson, Sven Birger Sandzen, Peppino Mangravite, the Magafan Sistes, and others. He feels that the ability to draw from this broad knowledge offers unique possibilities for his art.

Artists Statement
For me, it’s all about technique and experimentation. I love to try new ways of expressing what I see. Each painting comes with a new set of challenges. The excitement is in breaking them down and turning out something that communicates with someone else.
