Crazy Saturday in Branson

Started off playing with and for the monkeys today. We played our gig at the Dickerson Park Zoo's event "Zoobilee," directly next to the Monkey cages. And the best part of our whole day was that the monkey, "Tony," played along with us the whole hour. He had an empty Folgers canister and he was bangin' it on the tree and spinnin' it around and really gettin' into it. We have some video of the amazing monkey that we will be posting on our facebook page very shortly. We had a great time at the zoo, and hope to play many more events this year there. After our goofy morning, we hurried home to play a wacky afternoon show of Buckets N Boards at the lovely and newly renovated Clay Cooper Theatre here in beautiful Branson, Missouri, where the temperatures reached an uncomfortably humid 92 degrees today. So, extremely thankful for the air conditioning, we had a blast testing the outer boundaries of silliness for an hour and a half, this afternoon. I think we may have even accidentally added a new bit to our increasingly ridiculous show. We took a crazy long time to break down our set, and went off in different directions in search of food and rest. I found my food at Thai Thai Cuisine, located downtown by the Owens Theatre, however, they will be moving in June to a spot right next to fuddruckers and Dixie Stampede. By far my favorite restaurant ever anywhere (Gareth), Thai Thai offers outstanding Thai food spicy as you like it, and they use the freshest ingredients. So, now we are currently intermissioning at Clay Cooper's Country Music Express show. And after the show we are the opening act at a Relay for Life fundraiser at local club, Tabu. Local entertainer, Larry Foster, is working hard to put together a huge event, and we are pleased to be a part of it. And after we're done, we hope to rest... BNB

Rainy Days in Branson

Hello. I thought the rainy days were over for a little bit, but this is not the case. We played a total of 10 promo shows/teasers/mixers on monday and tuesday. I have to say the people that work at all these events are some of the nicest, most supportive folks I've met in Branson. As always, we are incredibly excited to be performing our own show tomorrow at 2. I think that we have constructed the show in such a way that I always look forward to puttin it on. It really is a joy to get to do what we do. So thank you ahead of time to all the kind folks that will be joining us tomorrow for helping us do what we do...whatever that is that we do, do...I said do do...thank you and goodnight!

Voted Most Family Friendly Comedy and Percussion Show of the Week in Branson by Us

So, to update the world wide web world out there. Shows have been going GREAT! We are pleased as punch to be performing our show at the Newly Renovated Clay Cooper Theatre, (across the street from Titanic) here in Branson. We were recently surprised to find out that our show has been included on several of the Clay Cooper Theatre billboards around town and on 65 on the way up from AR. Response from the crowds coming to our shows has been overwhelmingly positive, and people all over town are spreading the word. To all of you out there that are letting people know about Buckets N Boards, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As it is sunday night, we are rarin' to go and wake up Branson Monday morning as we head out early to perform at up to 7 promo breakfasts and dinners, and then several more on Tuesday night. It's a lot of work, but we are so grateful to have this opportunity to actively spread the word about us and be able to show people in person what it is that we do. Working harder everyday, but loving the chance to make our dreams a reality. Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

Buckets N Boards

A Fun Packed Saturday in Branson

We have a day full of festivities and tons of hard work, and any minute now, a hot cup of coffee. We will be starting our morning at the KOA campground here in Branson, doing what Buckets N Boards does best.....judging a pet parade. The parade is part of festivities that are going on all weekend at KOA to raise money to help kids with cancer, and to send these children and their families to summer camp. Immediately following the contest, we are jetting across town to the wonderful event called, A Day for Shea and Pals, a benefit put together by a local mom to raise money and awareness for children with Autism. We are proud to be playing at this festival today rain or shine. Check out their facebook page for more info http://www.facebook.com/pages/Branson-MO/A-Day-for-Shay-Pals/104955566063?v=wall

So when we finish playing there we will head straight to the Clay Cooper Theatre to set up and then perform the 2:00 pm crazy comedy extravaganza known in these parts as, Buckets N Boards feature length show. Following our main show , weather permitting, we will be heading to the Branson Landing to play some more and continue to promote our show and our wonderful theatre. We will surely grab a quick bite to eat, whereupon we will finish out our day with a featured spot in the fantastic show Clay Cooper's Country Music Express, at, you guessed it, the Clay Cooper Theatre. Whew...I guess I'd better start getting ready...Have a great day...

Your Pals,

Buckets N Boards
