Branson's Famous Baldknobbers aren’t just a staple in a long list of great shows, it’s the show that put live entertainment in Branson on the map! Borrowing their name from the group of vigilante lawmen who ran rampant in the Ozarks during the late 1800’s, these incredible entertainers are always refreshing the show’s music and comedy from year to year.  Delivering a high-energy performance night after night, the cast includes second and third generations of the family that “started it all” back in 1959.  It has always been about country music for the Baldknobbers, but they make sure to include contemporary hits, as well as the always popular classic country, on their playlist.  With a musical style that followed in the footsteps of the famous Ozark Jubilee, a popular program broadcast to a national audience from Springfield, Missouri, the Mabe brothers started their musical careers near the downtown lakefront.  They played to happy audiences in an old building that housed a variety of things over the years, but soon outgrew the limited space and followed the Presleys, Branson’s other founding family of entertainment, to Highway 76.  These shows started what would soon become the world famous Strip, filled with live entertainment, attractions, shopping, and dining.

The Mabe family’s passion continues to shine through with each and every Baldknobber's performance!  The every day Tim Mabe evaporates as he assumes his alter ego, Droopy Drawer’s Jr.  His wife, Patty, who comes from a family of entertainers, joins the stage as an exceptional vocalist. Brandon - Tim's son, Megan - Brandon's wife, and Brent round out the roster of Mabes in the show.  The family is joined on stage by several fabulous musicians, comedians, and vocalists.  Fiddle player, Mike Ito, has been with the show for more than three decades, and Bob Leftridge, also a long-time cast member, helps with everything from vocals to the hillbilly humor parts of the show.  Branson's Famous Baldknobbers are so incredibly iconic that their original costumes, instruments, and other artifacts can be found on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History!
