Neal McCoy in Branson: Enjoying the small stage

Neal McCoy loves to have fun, and more importantly, he likes his audiences to have fun. Now that he is performing in Branson again, he gets to have a different type of fun.

“When we play festivals and fairs, places like that, it is high intensity, high energy,” McCoy said. “Here, we keep the energy level high, but I get to sing again and do some music we don’t normally get to do.”

There are several differences between McCoy’s regular concerts and his Branson show. He brought in a new band for his tenure in Branson.

“I brought this group in so we could do ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ and ‘Straighten Up and Fly Right,’” McCoy said. “People in town appreciate the variety. Plus, playing festivals and other places, we don’t get to do that a lot.”

Another thing McCoy doesn’t have is a set list.

“You will never see the same show twice because I have never done the same show twice,” McCoy said.
