Grand Country vocalist returns to stage

One of Branson's best-loved shows is once again complete.  

Vocalist Mark McCauley, bass singer and beloved member of the musical group New South, has returned to the Grand Jubilee stage.

McCauley has been absent from the show for the past three months as he recovered from heart surgery to repair a leaky valve. McCauley is feeling healthy and strong and ready to join the cast for a fabulous season of music at the Grand Country Music Hall.

McCauley, an original member of the Grand Jubilee, is celebrating 24 years on stage at the Grand Country Music Hall, where he is loved by audiences and cast members alike.

"Mark's time away has reminded us just how much one person can mean—not only to a show, but to a community of fans who pray, encourage and celebrate together," said a Grand Country Music Hall spokesperson in a social media post. "Welcome home, Mark McCauley."
