Branson Gospel Music Revival To Be Held At Tri-Lakes Center Next Week
Four-day event to include Dino, His Song and others and will benefit Convoy Of Hope Disaster Relief

TheBranson Gospel Music Revival (formerly Convention) is returning to Branson, Missouri for the third time next week. The four-day annual event heads to a new venue this year, the Tri-Lakes Center, 2527 State Highway 248 in Branson.

Taking place Tuesday, June 28 – Friday, July 1, the gospel celebration consists of daily matinee and evening concerts featuring approximately 75 Gospel musicians from across the United States.
Dino, HisSong, Beyond the Ashes, Kenny Bishop, Ann Downing, Mike Allen, The Williamsons, Praise Incorporated, 2nd Generation, Voices of Glory, Jay Stone Singers, McMillan and Life, Rod Burton, Lynda Lynn, Sunday Edition, Mystery Men, and more will be part of the Revival, which organizers say puts the spotlight on the gospel message.

Also returning will be the popular SGN Scoops Diamond Awards, as well as the Tribute to Albert Brumley and “Piano Praise” segments. Additionally, a “New Faces” afternoon concert geared toward teens and those “young at heart” has been added. A Branson GMR Prayer Team, who will pray with audience members and artists alike during the week, is a new addition this year as well.
“We continue to learn and grow and are striving to make this an even more enjoyable event, one that continues to attract new people to this great city every summer,” co-owner and host Rod Burton stated. “Meanwhile, our focus continues to be on fostering a time of refreshing and encouragement for our artists as well as the audience.”

Having won the “Pacesetter of the Year” award from AbsolutelyGospel.com for the second consecutive year, Burton and his wife and partner, Kelly Burton, look forward to building on the success of what they still consider a very new event.

“It has been a true honor to receive some Gospel industry accolades,” Kelly mentions. “What we hope that sort of recognition translates to is more people coming to hear the truly fantastic artists who gather here with us in Branson every summer, so they can receive the message of faith being offered through gospel music.”

On that note, the couple has announced that Wednesday, June 29, will be “Disaster Relief Night” at the Revival, with a portion of all ticket and program book proceeds going to aid victims of Branson and Hollister area flooding as well as the recent catastrophic tornado in Joplin, Missouri. Donations will be made to the Assemblies of God relief organization Convoy of Hope, which has already provided substantial assistance throughout the region.

Concerts are scheduled daily Tuesday, June 28 through Friday, July 1 from noon-4:00 p.m. and again from 6:00 p.m.-10:30 p.m. Ticket prices start at $18.00 per day for adults and can be purchased by calling the Tri Lakes Center at 1-800-785-1550 or 417-336-0219.

performances by this very talented artist..

Thursday, June 23 7pm

Nicholas Susi, 24, has studied piano since age 9. Graduate of the Community Music School of Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, he continued his piano studies at the University of Kansas (B.M. Piano, minor in German) and the University of Michigan (M.M. Piano). Primary teachers include Jack Winerock, Zitta Zohar, and Arthur Greene.

The Branson Arts Council presents Ron Radford, a Flamenco Guitarist

Saturday June 18th — 4 pm

Free concert at the Fountain Area on the Branson Landing.

This brilliant American Flamenco virtuoso has evoked standing ovations on four continents. He has been acclaimed in Mexico City as, “equal to those on any Flamenco stage in Madrid, Seville or Andalusia” His melodies are haunting, the rhythms are fiery and the concert will be a leisurely journey into flamenco-the folk music of southern Spain. From the very literal imitations of bugles and drums in “Holy Week in Seville” to the unspeakable sadness of the “Cante Hondo”, the Spanish songs of lament, Radford performs with a consistently crisp technique that is flexible enough to master the extremes inherent in the flamenco style. All are welcome to come and listen to this fine guitarist on Saturday June 18th.

He will also perform at the Old Stone Church on Sunday, June 19th at 2 pm.
