Florida Boys Deliver In Pigeon Forge

My aunt, uncle, and another couple from church, attended the Florida Boys show in Pigeon Forge last weekend. I did not attend but my aunt was kind enough to supply me with the pictures that she took while there. I also asked her about the show and she gave me a short run down on the evening.

The Florida Boys started out in their traditional Southern Gospel quartet mode, singing all of the beloved songs that F.B. fans have come to expect. Dressed in their finest matching suits, they performed hit after hit to the delight of those in attendance. Then it was backstage to change into more casual attire and reappearing to belt out a string of classic 60's pop hits. My aunt said that their young tenor singer, Dustin Bearden, really stood out on these numbers and his musical talents were very evident. A short film of some classic gospel quartets was also shown during the night, much like the ones that Waller shows at the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion. Wrapping up the night, the Florida Boys reappeared in white suits and paid tribute to our soldiers and country with some patriotic numbers.



From my aunt's account, it was an excellent show and the Florida Boys gave 100% despite the fact that there was only around 12-people in attendance. With the shape of the economy, gas prices, and the $22.00 admission charge, I suspect that it is difficult to fill up the Smoky Mtn Showplace Theatre. If you love Southern Gospel music and want to support it, why not save up your money and attend a Florida Boys show? For tickets and info click HERE.
