Boomtown Opry’s July show to feature only local talent
The next Boomtown Opry show, set for July 14, will feature only El Dorado-area performers.
Known as a Branson, Missouri-style variety show featuring live music, comedy, dancing and other family-friendly entertainment, the Boomtown Opry began presenting monthly shows in the area in May. For the July performance, the show will feature Jimmy Lewis, Reece Young, Leslie Word, Miller-Fite, Bravo Dance Centre and the comedy of Carter Bryant.
Lewis has been listed in the Top Ten of Christian Music Weekly Country chart for his original song “Don’t Bring the Cowboy Out in Me.”
Miller-Fite, a due of sisters Jennifer Miller and Julie Fite, will reunite for the show after taking a long hiatus from performing in the area.
Young, of the White Mustang Band, has been performing in the area for more than 25 years, and Bryant performs both in the area and on local country station KIX103.
The Boomtown Opry features a house band led by BJ Kyle, who has toured professionally with Colt Ford, Craig Morgan, Tracy Lawrence, Kellie Pickler and others. Local actor/ singer Steve Harrell is the MC and local country duo Southern Koast (Keith Owens and Susan Tolin) provide background vocals.
Any aspiring singers may audition for future shows before rehearsals on show day around 3 p.m.
Tickets are available at the door for only $10 each, with children ages 12 and under admitted free. The Boomtown Opry is a family-friendly event with no alcohol sold during the show.
The Boomtown Opry is partnering with the El Dorado Boys & Girls Club, with show proceeds benefiting the club. In return, the club provides volunteers to staff each show.
