Description

For a limited engagement at The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts in Branson, hear the wonderful harmonies of Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers Live in Branson. With 15 top-five hits in the 1970s and 1980s, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers continue to enjoy huge popularity as they entertain audiences with new releases from their most recent album, 'The Pilgrim.'

The duration of the show is 2 hours.

Over 50 years ago, Larry, Steve, and Rudy Gatlin started singing in their little hometown of Abilene, Texas, and from there went on to make music history. Over the course of a four-decade career that has taken the Gatlin Brothers from dusty Texas stages to White House performances, from Broadway to Grammy Awards to the top of the country charts, there has been one unifying element, music. There's no harmony quite as pure as family harmony. "Gatlin harmonies spin with high and light precision and their music bleeds and screams of love and a lot of living," said Country Capsule in New York. Larry, Steve, and Rudy love to sing together. Raised on Gospel music, the brothers first began entertaining audiences in churches and then with guest appearances on the Slim Willet radio and TV shows in Abilene, Texas when they were 2, 4, and 6 years old. Larry says that their history as "gospel music junkies" came from those early roots. "My folks took us to those old-fashioned Southern style quartet concerts, and it was love at first sound! My first hero was James Blackwood of the Blackwood Brothers Quartet-I just knew somehow from that moment that I wanted to be a singer for the rest of my life."

Throughout the 70's and 80's, the Gatlin Brothers lit up major marquees and packed concert halls across America. Then, in 1992 after much soul searching and prayer, the brothers made a decision to stop touring. They ended with "The Adios Tour" along with an accompanying album release of the same name, and it gave the boys a chance to say goodbye to their fans and for the fans to say goodbye to the Gatlin Brothers. Explains Larry, "We just thought our time in the spotlight was probably over. We had a great run and are thankful for it. We felt it was someone else's turn in the spotlight."

As Larry says, "You know what Bob Dylan said...things they are a-changin'." According to Larry, a promoter in Dover, Delaware "made us an offer we couldn't understand...so we took it! Since then a popular ground swell, maybe not a large popular ground swell, but a ground swell nonetheless, has arisen that has persuaded us to do some selected dates that we are calling 'The Gatlin Brothers Never Ending Reunion Tour." Visit www.gatlinbrothers.com for a list of performances across the country!

At this stage, the Gatlins' have the best of both worlds, families and fans, plenty of work both as individuals and together. "A long time ago we decided to make music for our fans and people who came to our shows," says Larry, "and I know that Steve, Rudy, and Larry are going to stand up and sing in tune every night."

And during the day, play as much golf as possible.

"Gatlin Brothers Disappointing in Branson"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 26, 2019
Just saw them in Branson and disappointed. They must be bored singing their songs and trying to save money on putting on a real show. No band so songs did not sound at all like their hits. Over half the show Larry talked or showed home movies about all the stars he has known. They sang only a few of their hit songs; and, when they did sing they chose to do songs they liked but were not their songs nor hits. They did play videos of Elvis, Tom Jones, Barbra Streisand and their families. Just three guys with guitars in bluejeans talking about the good old days. We were hoping to enjoy watching them put on a show that remotely sounded like their hits. Maybe next time.

We were fortunate to have Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers having a show when we were in Branson. Great show from start to finish. Larry works hard to ensure the audience is totally entertained. Good mix of songs, stories, some skits, and a variety of music. If you enjoy the Gatlin's music and they have a show when you are in Branson, or anyplace for that matter, be sure to see them. You will not be disappointed.

Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers have been in the Country/ Gospel Music business for 40 years. They put on a wonderful show with lots of their songs and songs from their friends in country music. Songs and jokes make the show outstanding. We would recommend this to anyone in Branson when they are there and we plan to go back.

What an awesome show! The three of them did a few songs they are known for plus a new song "An American with a Remington" which was a great song. It is a dinner show but the food was not spectacular nor was the service. Definitely there for the show! Highly recommend.

Outstanding show from start to finish. Larry's tribute to veterans is moving, honest and from the heart. Show as fast paced, had a wide variety of songs, never a dull moment, and it was very well organized. If Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers are in Branson when you are, or see them anywhere, you will not be disappointed. They bring back the sprit of American and make you feel proud to be an American.
