Former Branson vocalist to perform this weekend

A well-known Branson entertainer will be performing in concert this weekend.

Randy Brooks, best known locally for his portrayal of Jesus, will perform a special concert on Sunday.  

Brooks was first cast in the role of Jesus in 1989, when the musical production began at an amphitheater in Glen Rose, Texas.  Brooks reprised his role in Branson, when The Promise, a musical production about the life of Christ, opened in Branson in 1996.  A favorite among Branson visitors, The Promise was one of the area's most popular shows for many years.   

A gifted vocalist and musician, Randy also performed as one half of The Brooks Brothers, with sibling Bill, well known in Branson, and in Texas.  The duo performed throughout the nation.

Randy has had a long and fascinating career in the field of Gospel music.  He currently resides in Texas where he continues to perform at churches, retirement centers and a variety of venues.  

Brooks' performance gets underway at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, at the College of the Ozarks Chapel.
