Penny Gilley Show
Penny, who has performed in front of hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers from Bosnia to Korea to Iraq, now puts on a weekly half hour television show. Though she says it’s “a whole new ballgame,” she is determined not to let the cameras, lights and fussing over TV makeup break that special bond she has always had with her fans. “I get the opportunity to share the kind of music that I love – and that people love and don’t get a chance to hear much anymore: classic country," Penny says. So get ready for a lot of Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and Barbara Mandrell. (“My lifetime favorites,” says Penny.) Penny loves chatting with her live audiences and brings some of that personal intimacy to her TV show. One way is to avoid a script and just keep it spontaneous. “I really want it to be laid back,” she says. Anything-goes on the show, with surprise performers dropping in from their shows around Branson. And more than a few giggles with veteran impersonator Jeff Brandt who was the opening act for Wayne Newton for 13 years and has a deep bag of tricks to bring to the party with his dead-on impersonations of hundreds of favorite singers like Elvis, Conway Twitty, Tom Jones and Willie Nelson. Get ready for Penny’s band that features a female fiddler who loves to clog dance while playing Orange Blossom Special. Penny might even answer email questions from the TV audience on the air just to keep things lively and unpredictable.
