One of the most awarded and acclaimed entertainers in the city of Branson, Doug Gabriel is an enduring fixture in the entertainment community. He earned the well-deserved title, “Mr. Branson” among both his peers within the entertainment realm as well as his ardent fan base.
Having headlined his own show for decades, incorporating covers of some of the top pop, country, and spiritual tunes throughout the decades, Doug Gabriel features a variety of content across the span of two hours.
He clearly demonstrates why he holds Branson’s esteemed and highly prestigious “Entertainer of the Year” award.
The Doug Gabriel Show integrates everything from zany laugh out loud comedy from Doug’s son and the Terry Awards’ newly crowned “Comedian of the Year”, Jordan (also known as “The Flying J”) to The Gabriel family band (including the star’s exceptionally talented daughter, Jasmine-who also has her own solo album) to his talented and stunning wife, Cheryl to his “Drummer of the Year” award winning son Josh to a pulse pounding, high octane variety of music spanning a wide array of genres.
This must-see morning show also features hilariously entertaining audience interactive segments, outrageous video packages produced by resident comedian headliner, Jordan, and touching original music that enables audiences to get to know the relentlessly lovable and larger than life “man behind the music.” “Holding Answered Prayer,” a poignant and heartfelt ballad, illustrates Gabriel’s enduring adoration and gratefulness for his children and grandchildren. There is a plethora of earth-shaking spiritual tunes including the beloved classic, “How Great Thou Art.”
Gabriel has been making headlines since the 1990s for his infamous “Mufftars”, (an iconoclastic guitar/muffler hybrid, featuring a full, grand sound just as iconic and unique as its unconventional design aesthetic). The entertainer brings out his very own Mufftar on stage to demonstrate the dynamic and inimitable sound of this one-of-a-kind instrument.
Once you’ve gotten your energy fix from two full hours of upbeat music, high energy, and positive vibes from the Doug Gabriel Show, be sure to visit the Expresso, one of the most popular coffee shops in town, and pick up a custom-created “Mr. Branson” Latte, an expertly curated smooth espresso, rich butterscotch, decadent caramel, cinnamon, and smoked sea salt, paying the ultimate homage to one of the city’s most decorated, popular, and most importantly, genuine, entertainers, Doug Gabriel.
