Branson's newest performance venue held a ribbon cutting event and a very meaningful concert this past weekend.
Owners and staff of the Star Concert Hall were joined by legendary entertainer Pam Tillis for the celebration.
"Jim Kelly and I are celebrating the grand opening of an iconic theater here in Branson that was made famous by Pam's father, Mel Tillis, as well as a bunch of artists that followed in his footsteps," explained co-owner Donnie Frizzell. "So many artists have been here. Our goal is to bring live music back into Branson. We are here to bring national entertainment and artists like Pam—all genres. Everything we can do to bring back Branson. We feel like music was the key part of what made Branson in the very beginning, with Pam's father and the people he brought along, all the way to Andy Williams to the Osmonds. And then you've got Tony Orlando, etc."
Frizzell continued, "We want to bring that next generation back and bring the city back like it used to be, and it was based on music."
Following the ribbon cutting, Pam Tillis, a long-time Branson favorite, and former mainstay of the Branson music scene, performed a powerful concert.
Audiences enjoyed the comedy of Killer Beaz over the weekend, as well.
Upcoming concerts include Crystal Gayle, Little Texas, Chris Cagle, Jackyl, The Commodores, Great White, John Waite, Dailey and Vincent, Home Free, Vicki Lawrence, Neal McCoy and many others.
"We are so on a mission to bring Branson back again, with these entertainers, and let these entertainers come back over here and have them have another place to entertain," explained Frizzell.
The venue has been transformed, with the addition of Studio B, a multi-purpose room with a club-style atmosphere. Studio B is a great place to dance, have a drink and mingle with friends, and is available for private parties and events. Additionally, much of the building received a face lift, giving a fresh new look to the concert hall's main theater and lobby.
The Star Concert Hall is located at the former Branson Star Theater, 3750 West 76 Country Boulevard, behind Olive Garden.
