MONROE - With over 20 years experience of performing at the top theaters in Branson on the famous 76 Country Music Boulevard, Branson On The Road brings its live show to the Monroe High School Performing Arts Center 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 10.
Branson On The Road, the first and only national touring show named for the famous city, delivers the Branson traditions of good, clean, family fun in an evening of classic country, bluegrass, rockabilly, and gospel music, along with a guaranteed heaping dose of hilarious comedy.
Branson On The Road is the kind 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 audiences tapping, laughing, and smiling.
Horton holds the distinction of being the only woman to have played lead guitar for the Johnny Cash and dedicates a portion of the Branson On The Road show to a Cash tribute. She hosted her own show at the old Boxcar Willie Theater in Branson and has performed on the famous Louisiana Hayride and Ernest Tubb's Midnight Jamboree in Nashville. She was a radio DJ in Norfolk, Va., and acted as emcee for concerts with Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., the Oak Ridge Boys and many more. An accomplished songwriter, Horton has had her songs recorded by many country singers including Wanda Jackson, the First Lady of Rockabilly, and Norma Jean, a member of the Grand Ole Opry and a regular on the syndicated television show, The Porter Wagoner Show.
Wright, the other co-host of Branson On The Road, is versatile on many instruments including fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, and bass, and has been part of the Branson music scene for 40 years. 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.
Capps has been an integral part of Branson On The Road from its very beginning. His extraordinary upright bass playing, smooth vocals, which are reminiscent of Marty Robins and Hank Williams, along with his musical hard-driving beat, all contribute the fun of the show. Capps began his musical career in 1993 when he co-founded the band, The Domino Kings. During the next eight years he performed, wrote and contributed his music to the band's first two widely acclaimed CDs, "Lonesome Highway" and "Life and 20."
