About the Family

The history of these performers begins with the efforts of four Mabe brothers, Jim, Lyle, Bill, and Bob Mabe who wanted to create an entertaining experience with amazing country music and fun for the whole family. The Jamboree is known as the first Branson show, and it truly kicked off the theatrical history in Branson, MO. It has always been dedicated to providing amazing music to the Branson area, no matter which generation of the Mabe family is performing.

The Baldknobbers is certainly a Mabe family tradition with the 2nd and 3rd generations continuing to use their crowd-pleasing talent to bring country classics to visitors. You will find the amazing Brandon Mabe alongside his co-frontman Denton, Heather McCombs, and an entire troupe of other Mabe family members entertaining.

With performances beginning in 1959, it goes down in history as one of Branson's most favorite shows and is sure to keep entertaining guests to the city for years and years to come.
