Tribute concert set for July

A tribute concert to musical legend Glen Campbell will raise funds for a very worthy cause.

Branson's Tribute to Glen Campbell is set for July 13. Scheduled performers include Tony Orlando, Neal McCoy, Dino Kartsonakis, Barbara Fairchild, Nashville recording artist Buddy Jewell and Glen's daughter Debby Campbell who performed alongside her famous father here in Branson.

"This effort stemmed from our initiative at the City of Branson to name entertainer holidays in honor of Branson's legends," explained Marshall Howden, city alderman and the Mayor's Ambassador to the Shows. "Overall, we proclaimed and recorded 30 entertainer holidays sprinkled throughout the year that are commemorated on a plaque at city hall. For the special days, we have held events such as press conferences for Jim Stafford Day and Shoji Tabuchi Day, but for Mel Tillis Day we held a special tribute concert in his honor, similar to the one we are doing for Glen. Glen's daughter, Debby, heard about that concert we put on a few years ago and wanted to do one for her father and so we started the work of  producing this show."

Branson's Tribute to Glen Campbell will be held on Sunday, July 13, at 3 p.m. at the Hughes Brothers Theatre, formerly the Roy Clark Celebrity Theatre, where Glen Campbell once performed. Tickets are just $20 each with proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association Greater Missouri Chapter.

Tickets can be purchased online at HughesEntertainment.com/Glen or by calling the theater box office at 417-334-0076.
