Why the Branson theater show is dying .      It seems to be inevitable event. Something you love goes away so something new can come. I wish that were the case here, and the shows have been around all this time and we celebrated them for so many years here in Branson. But I feel the day will come when shows are coveted here in this beautiful area anymore. I think our staple shows that have been around and endured the test of time will always be here. Like the Presley’s, bald numbers, and some of the other shows on the majestic strip. But the room for the new shows, that were celebrated at the Branson mall in different locations, are no longer able to have that format. You can no longer go in the Branson Mall and see a  Las Vegas Elvis Post 70s Elvis  or any other kind of  Elvis  for that matter as the mall has really slowed down. The venue is just not there anymore, to be an upcoming act that wants to build momentum in Branson Missouri. bransoni...

Broke in Branson, where people in need can get help. Bransonisfun.com This might turn out to be a very controversial post. But I've seen over the years that many people come here, looking for work and end up in a bad position. I've seen a lot of posts on social media where people are asking for help, and they don't know where to go. Having lived in this area for over 20 years, I know of a lot of resources that will help people up to three times for some. One of the things that I think creates the situation is that Branson isn't really that old of a city. We really got our development during the Branson boom which started in 1987 with Roy Clark building his theater in Branson Missouri. Homeless in Branson 129 People have read so far! Yes we've had two shows here for a very long time on the strip, but the development started in the middle of the 80s.

So I guess that they call it the blues, time on my hands, and time spent with you. Elton John had it right, I guess. Or it's subject to interpretation. But Branson has always had the blues, it's just been very quiet. Known more for Bluegrass, than Blues, the art form is here, or not very far away. Since I'm always talking about how long I've been here, which I probably say too much. The blues has walked across Branson for over the last 27 years. When Branson was in it's boom phase, it had a lot of Blues. From Mesa Mitchell, performing at local clubs often, to the Nace Brothers, to the Purple Skunk funk band. Branson was a club town. Now the Blues has turned to Barbeque and BlueGrass out at Silver Dollar City. Not hard to fathom as Branson has become a family town or never left over the last 30 years. bransonisfun.com The Blues brothers still tear the House down at Legends in Concert every night, and that is no joke. Worth a shot to take a look at their perfor...
