I can hardly believe the glaring void of bluegrass music in the Branson area. There's a huge niche for bluegrass music there. They have The Petersons, who are quite good, but only play occasionally in Branson and Silver Dollar City. And there's the Bluegrass And Barbecue festival once a year in May. That's pretty much it. I would think having a bluegrass venue, especially with an associated eating establishment in Branson, would be a no brain-er. Bluegrass music has a broader demographic vs the ubiquitous traditional country music found in Branson that appeals mostly to retirement aged people. Currently, bluegrass music has a growing appeal to younger people which is what Branson desperately needs. It's simply a great fit for the area. I hope that someone with the necessary resources will see the glaring need and strongly consider fulfilling it.
