Whether they may be homegrown or not, the Branson promise of world-class entertainment will still be yours to cherish.
One of the homegrown artists of Branson is the Presleys family. The Presleys are one of the most watched performers in Branson, and they are also considered to be one of the pillars of Branson entertainment. The Presleys were the first to open a theater in Highway 76. Lloyd Presley, the skilled guitarist, was the one who brought the Presleys into the entertainment scene. He began playing in downtown Branson at such a young age and landed in the Branson Beacon in the 1960s. Lloyd has a son, Gary, who is also skilled in comedy. Gary created Herkimer, a character that the audience can’t help but love in the Presley shows. From the Fantastic Caverns in Springfield to the Underground Theater in Kimberling City to the caves of Branson, Lloyd and Gary Presley continued to awe their audience and gained following. It was in 1967 when the Presleys acquired a piece of land, and this piece of land would be the site of the first ever live music theater in Branson’s Highway 76. Since then, lots of theaters have popped up in Highway 76 and it is what you see now.
The Presley’s Country Jubilee is known to be the “Original Show on the Strip”. After gaining much exposure on national television, the Presleys have been the faces of Branson entertainment. Now, you can see four generations of the Presleys who will delight you with a variety of country, gospel, and bluegrass music. There is also the comedy segments of Herkimer and Cecil, and the performances from the young Presleys that will capture your hearts. Theirs is a talented family that you can rarely find, each gifted with their own musical styles – and a little humor wouldn’t hurt either.
