Chuck Berry in concert at Branson's Welk Resort Theatre

| Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chuck Berry |
From his very first single, “Maybellene” Berry’s pioneering efforts, unique lyrics combinations of styles of music, and trademark guitar playing laid the basic foundation of the rock and roll sound that defines its genre. For over 50 years with songs like “Roll over Beetoven,” Rock and Roll Music,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “Nadine,” and “My Ding-a-ling” Berry’s music and style of performing has been a fan favorite for decades and a model for serious rock and roll musicians to study and emulate.
Appearing in the 1978 movie, “Animal House,” actor Dewayne Jessie played the roadhouse rhythm -and - blues singer “ Otis Day.” Due to his performance and the success of the movie, the rest is as they say, “History.” “Oatis” and his band, “The Knights” went on tour and through. Their unique high energy performances of “Shout,” “Louie, Louie,” among many more have resulted in sold out crowds and the moniker of “America’s #1 party band. Otis Day and the Knights will be performing with Chuck Berry in this exciting Branson rock and roll experience.
Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. on Feb. 16 and 17 in the Welk Resort Theatre located at 1984 State Highway 165 in Branson, Missouri. For further information or to purchase tickets on line please click here or call 417-337-7469.
