Merle Haggard to perform in Branson
His seemingly endless list of hit songs is only part of what makes Merle Haggard a country music legend. He is respected by artists encompassing all types of music.
In the past couple years he has been asked to join Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones on stage in front of sold out stadium crowds. Merle brings that legendary voice and equally legendary catalog of hit songs to Branson at The Tri-Lakes Center, 2527 State Highway 248, on Monday, August 4 at 7:30 p.m.
This is a rare stop for Merle who generally plays to huge outdoor festivals or large casino audiences. Bob Cannella with Up Close Concerts, who is presenting the event, says a lot of work on both sides went into making this event happen.
“Merle wanted to perform in this area because so many fans have requested it, and we wanted to bring him here,” Cannella said. “Fortunately, we were able to make the scheduling work and are looking forward to an incredible night of music on August 4.”
The Tri-Lakes Center is an ideal venue to see Merle Haggard. At just 2500 seats it’s large enough to support a major star like Merle, yet small enough for amazing sound and a clear view of this country music legend.
“Tickets for the Branson show range from $30 -$50 so there is something to fit everyone’s budget,” Cannella said. “This is an incredible opportunity to see a country music legend at a great price in a small venue. There’s nothing like seeing Merle up-close.”
Tickets go on sale Monday, July 7 at the Tri-Lakes Center box office, or by calling 417-336-0219. More information about the show may be found at www.upcloseconcerts.com.
