One of the world’s most sophisticated and lasting pop vocal groups, Rockapella uses each performance to open a window on practically the whole history of vocal music from vintage Mills Brothers through jazz and rock to current Hip Hop. The little miracle that keeps the crowds coming back year after year and constantly draws new fans is Rockapella’s astonishing full-band sound - a sound that seems impossible coming from just five guys with microphones. No instruments, no tracks, no mirrors – and their hands never leave their wrists. From their earlier days with the PBS hit show “Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego?” to today’s international tours, Rockapella has evolved into a high-energy concert performance troupe.

In the melodic wake of the three operatic tenors, three Irish tenors and Three Mo’ Tenors, comes a new breed of tenors from more humble origins … 3 Redneck Tenors – A New Musical Adventure. The musical comedy featuring classically trained veteran artists has had several engagements in Branson and brings down home laughs with serious big city music. It’s a foot stompin’, knee slapin’, uproariously funny musical redneck romp, with tunes from Elvis to Puccini, soul to pop and country to opera. Travel with Billy Bob, Billy Joe and Billy Billee from their beginnings in Paris, Texas all the way to Carnegie Hall as they mix NASCAR with LaBoheme, lite beer with Carmen and even kick up a little dust with Madame Butterfly.
