The Branson Brothers are proud to announce their schedule for the 2008 season. Exciting changes are coming for the new production at the Americana Theatre opening March 12, 2008. Long time fans will appreciate the traditional flavor, while others will delight in the ALL NEW SHOW. <\/p>\n

Exciting News! The Branson Brothers are now a quartet. The name became popular during the 1980\u2019s as the first Branson entertainers to be awarded a National Recording Contract and appeared before thousands daily at the Echo Hollow Amphitheater. Today that close harmony and rich tradition is being relived as the show adds two world class entertainers. David Ponder from North Carolina and Seth Dillehay, a bass singer from Nashville, Tennessee join Dee Allen and Jimmy Ponder to make up the new quartet. The eighteen year old Dillehay, famous for his deep, rich bass voice with the world renown Stamps Quartet, will amaze you.<\/p>\n

The featured new quartet member is David Ponder, joining the show after appearing in the Gaither Homecoming Shows and their famous Homecoming Videos. Having won several Dove Awards, he is well known for his award winning songs and performing nationally with the Christian group, Ponder, Sykes and Wright before joining the Branson Brothers. <\/p>\n

The show, with a completely new format, adds a female vocalist joining Natalie Nicole and Diana Ponder. Ponder, a favorite of Branson visitors, will take on a major new role in the production with background singers and new instrumentation supporting her fabulous talent. Former musicians will be joined by a new horn section, utility player, keyboard player and lead guitar player.<\/p>\n

Comedy will bring side splitting laughter with the antics of Perry Edenburn, one of the funniest characters on stage today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exciting,\u201d said Jimmy Ponder, producer of the new show. Adding, \u201cit\u2019s always been my dream to perform with my brother and produce a big show like this. The Americana Theatre is perfect for our show and we look forward to an exciting year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your guests are sure to proclaim this as \u201cOne of the best NEW shows in town.\u201d We personally invite you to join us at the show or stop by to see us anytime during the day.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your loyal support and look forward to serving you and entertaining your guests throughout the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
