Comments from Our Guests

"I've been coming to Branson for ten years, and this is hands down the best show I've ever seen here."

"It's the best show in Branson...We liked it so well that we went back the next day!"

"Everyone who gets in my [barber] chair is gonna hear about THAT show!"

Ricky Boen & Texas Mud

Ricky Boen is one of the most energetic, talented musicians to grace a stage. This 1983 World Champion fiddle player leads this incredibly gifted group of musicians which includes Mark Boyd on guitar and vocals, Ricky's dad, Darrell Boen also on vocals and guitar, Mark Pearman is the other "half" of the twin fiddles, Casey Robertson keeps the beat on the drums, Mark Abbott is on the upright bass and vocals and polishing off that Texas Swing sound is Dave Musgrave on the steel guitar. After just one song audiences will not be surprised to learn that Ricky Boen and Texas Mud were named Western Swing Group of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists in 2001 and were honored with the coveted Will Rogers' Award.

Joining Ricky and the boys is eleven-year-old Brooke Hale. Brooke's powerhouse voice and her lively dance moves bring just a little feminine touch to this group. And, ready or not, Branson's only female comedian "Ida Claire" is in the house! You never know what Ida is up to on any given day and generally neither do Ricky and the boys! This unique Texas Swing Variety show definitely has something for everyone. Between their blend of amazing instrumental talent, vocal harmony, lots of laughter and fun, it is easy to see why it is definitely Texas Swing Done Right!

The Texas Swing Sound

When most folks hear the term "swing" associated with music, they think of the "Big Band" sound or era, that is if they're from anywhere other than Texas and Oklahoma. But folks from around that part of the country immediately think of one thing when they hear the term "swing" - Texas Swing! What's the difference? Well, like Big Band swing, Texas Swing (or as some call it, Western Swing) is primarily dance music, which is instrumentally driven, and includes some vocals, often from the "front man or woman," plus some harmonies from "side men." The primary difference, however, is that while the Big Band swing sound was driven particularly by woodwind/reed instruments like clarinets and saxophones, along with brass instruments and some strings, Texas Swing is driven by the string sound, predominantly fiddles and guitars.
