Is Memphis finally losing its tune?

For decades the musical hub of this wondrous country has been Memphis, Tennessee. The mere mention of Elvis proves that. But lately there has been a new challenger in town – Branson, Missouri.

This tiny town of just 6,100 people has been draining Memphis’ title as musical capital for several years, and Branson vacation packages are now a big business – especially among country music fans, with such names as Ann-Margret, Gladys Knight, Barbara Mandrell, Wayne Newton, Charley Pride and Andy Williams now calling it home.

I’m no fan of country tunes myself, but any town that can lay claim to so many former stars must have something special. If you feel the same, maybe that’s the place for your next vacation?

Branson. Missouri is gaining a hold on the hearts and minds of music fans everywhere on a level far beyond what you might expect for town of just 6,200 people.

Nestled among forty glistening lakes in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks, many music fans believe this quiet town is destined to be bigger than Nashville. Eight million people a year already visit and this demand to see the new mecca has made Branson vacation packages a hot item among those who love country.

Whether you love country music, or would just like to be there at the start of a quiet revolution, this is a place you need to make a ‘Must See.’
