This is a full-scale Legends in Concert production. The performance of the tribute artists, a live band, backup vocalists, Las Vegas-style choreography featuring dancing by some of the best dancers in Branson, special effects and a great lighting and sound system combine to make every performance of Branson’s Legends in Concert one of the top production and entertainment experiences in Branson.

Here’s a little background on each of the tribute artists who will perform in the show:
Ryan Pelton brings his award-winning act to the stage as Elvis Presley. He focuses on shows from Elvis’ ’68 Comeback and the famous Las Vegas era. Ryan showcases Elvis at different times during his career. He began performing his Elvis Presley tribute in 1998. It happened after he took a dare and entered a contest, even though he had no singing training. He ended up winning. He later went on to win as the “World Champion” at the 2001 Images of the King Contest in Memphis, Tennessee.
Ryan has performed around the globe. He shows genuine emotion, and he always tries to be just like Elvis. He is also a songwriter and has worked as an actor. Ryan’s fans feel he truly brings Elvis, the legend, to life with every show.
Terry Johnson steps into the shoes of Willie Nelson, the famous outlaw country singer. Johnson comes from Tyler, Texas. He worked in the technology field and was successful in that job. But he wanted to follow his dream of making music. A special moment happened in 1973. Johnson met Willie Nelson by chance. Willie played songs for almost two hours just for him. After that, Johnson became Nelson’s biggest fan. Later, someone from Legends in Concert heard Johnson sing and thought that Johnson sounded just like Willie Nelson. This helped Johnson reach his “lifelong goal of making people happy singing their favorite Willie songs.”
Janae Longo brings the powerful voice and moving songs of Adele to life. She has a BFA in Musical Theater and over 20 years of performance experience. Janae comes from Buffalo, New York, and before joining Legends in Concert, was a lead singer for 14 years, traveling with Carnival Cruise Lines all over the world.
Clint Nievar and Justin Sassanella bring the wild fun and nonstop energy of The Blues Brothers™ to the stage. Nievar takes the role of Jake Blues, while Sassanella is Elwood Blues. Clint Nievar grew up in Oklahoma City. He has worked in shows at Branson and Silver Dollar City for over 17 years. Justin Sassanella has also performed in Branson. He has sung for crowds all around the world and is a part-owner of the touring show Forever Young. The two men are longtime friends. They show their real feel for music, great friendship and funny moments in every Blues Brothers performance. Oh, and did we mention nonstop energy!
Come see why so many in Branson love Legends in Concert. You do not want to miss this!
