New Bluegrass Show in Branson, Missouri

Hello. I am new here. Our family of 9 (Walkers from Alaska) has headed south to Branson for awhile to do a bluegrass/gospel/old timey show at the Circle B Theater on Jo Jess Pkwy. We like to call it America’s Roots Music and ‘Branson Back to its Roots’. We have a lot of fun, and we love to share our music. Come join us if you’re out this way. We do a show most every night, 8 PM, except Sundays. You can check us out at www.redheadexpress.com or check out the theater at www.circlebchuckwagon.com. Thanks!
