 INFORMATION:
What:  Branson on the Road Trio
When:  Monday, July 13, 7:00 pm
Where:  Fairfield's Sondheim Center 

  Branson on the Road brings together a fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, upright slap bass, rhinestone costumes, hilarious comedy and great classic country, bluegrass, rockabilly and gospel music to Fairfield's Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts, July 13 at 7 p.m.
Branson On The Road has over 20 years of experience of performing at the top theatres in Branson and is the first national touring show named for the famous city.  The show delivers the Branson tradition of good, clean, family fun and has performed at theaters across the country.
Branson on the Road is the type of show most people thought was long gone in this day of overproduced music, overused special effects and performers singing to tracks. In the same tradition as the traveling road shows during the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry, the Louisiana Hayride and the first Branson music shows, Branson On The Road keeps you tapping, laughing and smiling.
"The Fairfield Arts and Convention Center is excited to welcome Branson On The road on the Sondheim Stage and the audience can expect a top-notch show with great music and plenty of hilarious comedy every step of the way," said Rustin Lippincott, Executive Director, Fairfield Arts and Convention Center and Visitors Bureau. "This is a great opportunity to see Branson style entertainment with an affordable ticket price and to see an act that has been regularly featured on national television shows."
Branson on the Road's Debbie Horton holds the distinction of being the only woman to have played lead guitar for the great Johnny Cash.  She hosted her own show at the old Boxcar Willie Theater in Branson and has performed on the famous Louisiana Hayride and Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in Nashville.  She was a radio DJ in Norfolk, Virginia and acted as MC for concerts with Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams, Jr., the Oak Ridge Boys, and many more.  Among her other credits, Debbie is an accomplished songwriter.  She has had her songs recorded by Wanda Jackson, Norma Jean and many other country singers.Donnie Wright is an expert, sought after, respected musician, arranger and is versatile on many instruments including fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo and bass and has been part of the Branson music scene for 40 years.  He provides a good deal of the comic relief on the show with his mischievous antics. Among his long list of credits are performances at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, The Presley's Show in Branson, The Pine Mountain Jamboree in Eureka Springs, and a long-standing run at The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas.  Donnie has been nominated for a Lifetime Honors Award for his contribution to music in the Ozarks by the National Endowments of the Arts in Washington, DC.

            Brian Capps plays upright bass and sings songs reminiscent of Marty Robbins and Hank Williams.  Brian's latest recording reached the Top 10 on the Americana Charts and is part of the music rotation on XM Radio. 

            Branson on the Road is presented by 1570 KMCD of Fairfield and the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center . For more information including ticket information and group pricing, visit www.FairfieldACC.com or call 641-472-2787
