2 Upcoming Performance January 26, 2019 The Homestead Pickers are a Finke Theatre crowd favorite. From Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO are a very special collection of four seasoned performers, musicians, comedians, actors, storytellers, and composers with many years of experience entertaining audiences both in Branson, Missouri and around the United States as well as tours of Ireland. Their performing home is the McHaffie Homestead cabin built in 1843 and located on the main street of Silver Dollar City. Their eclectic blend of fiddle, banjo, guitar, hammered dulcimer, and unique vocals depict the early days of American music, bluegrass, gospel, and even some Irish tunes with humor unmatched by any other combination. They have a dozen or more CD releases as well as a 2-CD, 36-song Homeschooler's Folksong Collection which includes a 68 page lyric booklet of a study of the origins of American music and two volumes of DVD performances, all offered on their website. They've performed for governors, senators, preachers, and presidents. The Homestead Pickers have thrilled millions over the years with their antics and top-notch musicianship and they continue to be the highest rated attraction at Silver Dollar City. This performance is not part of the season schedule, be sure to call Sara at (573) for tickets. Sponsors: Robert & Mary Keil

3 Upcoming Performance February 9, 2019 Missouri brothers form a band saluting the music traditional to their homeland: The Ozarks where Old-Time Fiddle music received a quick flash fry of foot stompin Country Blues as it made its way across the Mississippi River. The songs are a collection of stories, often ancient in verse but timeless in meaning, and delivered with sunny reverence for this forgotten music bred to uplift from the tangle of struggles in a bygone era. It s music that prefers to draw you out, rather than draw you in. In 2018, the band released their Self-Titled Debut Album and a companion video for their song, Find Your Love, recorded in an abandoned auto garage somewhere in Callaway County. Joined by Molly Healey and Roger Netherton on fiddles as well as "Shakin' Jake" Allen on percussion, the Kay Brothers boast sibling harmonies, upright bass, guitar, tenor banjo, fiddle, harmonica, cello, washboard, congas, shakers, and an array of foot percussion. The mission: to preserve the rural music of our forefathers and mothers that used to fill the wooden barns that once dotted countryside on Saturday night and the small family churches on Sunday morning. That party is still going on... it s in your blood. Show Sponsors: Edwina Kay John & Patricia Kay VP Plumbing Dustin & Valerie Volkart
