So impressive are the Branson artists that during their winter time off from Branson lots of them head for their already fully-booked schedules in warmer places. Except maybe this year, Old Man Winter followed them to their sunny getaways and put a soft damper on their 70-degree winter hangout. But only briefly. And it did not put a dent on their attendance and the enthusiasm of their fans.

John Sager and Jackson Haney reported great turnouts at their shows in the Rio Grande Valley (Texas) and got themselves nominated for Best Male Vocalists. Good luck guys! Great accomplishments.

The Liverpool Legends sold out various concert tours and had a great and fun performance in Houston (Stafford really) Texas—I know—I was there! The state also rated two more performances by LL this winter—check out their Facebook for updates from Corpus Christi and San Antonio.

Elvis fans adored Joseph Hall in his Rock n Remember tribute and certainly appreciated the rough weather he endured on some of his travels throughout the Midwest. I’ll keep a lookout for him in Texas too!

Things in Branson are gearing up for the 2014 season. Check the schedules for the guys from the Eagles and Journey Tribute Bands at the Branson Tribute Theatre and the great line up at Clay Cooper’s new and improved theater. Can’t wait to see all the new seats, new skylight and new shows, including Joseph Hall, the Haygoods and Clay Cooper’s Country Music Express. The God and Country Theatre has a full schedule lined up that you want to include in your plans. And, don’t miss the Liverpool Legends’ celebration of the Beatles’ coming to America. Hopefully all-year long! Louise Harrison’s book about her “little brother’s band—the Beatles” is set to be out May 2014. Can’t wait for that!
