Branson Entertainment Hall of Fame and Branson Mall join forces; feature Leroy Van Dyke, Ronnie Prophet and T.G. Sheppard<\/p>\n
Branson, Missouri; Monday, July 2 2007 \u2013 The Branson Entertainment Hall of Fame and the Branson Mall, 2206 West Highway 76, announce another new venture the \u201cBranson Hall of Fame Theatre\u201d. Grand Opening Festivities will feature the premier of \u201cCountry Gold Concerts\u201d starring Leroy Van Dyke of \u201cAuctioneer\u201d and \u201cWalk On By\u201d fame on June 28, 29 and 30.<\/p>\n
Ken Barth of the Branson Mall stated, \u201cWe worked diligently to find quality entertainment. Mr. Van Dyke\u2019s schedule will allow him to perform 16 weekends of the remaining season; Ronnie Prophet will be here for eight weekends and T.G. Sheppard for one weekend. This will be a huge boost for the Branson Mall and a great collaboration between the theater and the Branson Entertainment Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
Leroy Van Dyke is immediately associated with the \u201cself-penned\u201d Number One Hit \u201cThe Auctioneer,\u201d and perhaps most notably for recording \u201cWalk On By,\u201d the biggest country music single in history based on record sales, media plays, and number of weeks on the charts. In addition to his extraordinary recording career, Leroy Van Dyke has been a member and star of the \u201cGrand Ole Opry;\u201d one of the first country artists to successfully fill venues in Las Vegas; and a favorite at State Fairs and Expositions for decades.<\/p>\n
Ronnie Prophet is a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, and is always a favorite when he performs in Branson. Prophet is known for his colorful high-energy shows that combine song, comedy, impersonations and his considerable skill as a guitarist. His quick wit has brought him work as a Master of Ceremonies at festivals (i.e.. the Wembley Festival of Country Music in England) and for CCMA awards ceremonies and a succession of Country Music Television Programs in Canada. He has also performed on BBC TV and on tour in Great Britain and Europe.<\/p>\n
Special Guest Star T.G. Sheppard (July 26,27 & 28) has become one of the most consistently played artists on country radio today, with 17 Number One singles to his credit. Hits like \u201cLast Cheater\u2019s Waltz,\u201d \u201cI Loved \u2018Em Every One,\u201d and \u201cFinally\u201d have been the key to creating T.G.\u2019s identifiable musical style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
