An alternative for touring musicians

Branson, Missouri overs over 100 show, most of them playing six days a week, 50 weeks of the year. A musician is able to work full-time without having to tour.

News-Leader.com, 1/28/07 - The call of the stage: "Some of the most critical pieces of the Branson puzzle are the musicians who've come from all over to live there, says Dan Lennon, vice president of marketing for the Branson-Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and a longtime performer himself.

'There's not a lot of places in the country where you can make a living as a musician, live there, and have your kids go to school and have a relatively normal life,' Lennon says."
