The Dutton Family: Branson's Ultimate Musical Experience!
On Tour, On Television, Live On Stage-
The Duttons are international touring and recording artists who perform bluegrass to classical music and everything in between. Their show features a variety of instruments, including violin, guitar, bass, viola, banjo, mandolin, keyboard, harmonica, and drums, among others. The Duttons have garnered awards and recognition in national fiddling contests, classical violin competitions, and as studio musicians.
In addition to their instrumental virtuosity, the Duttons are accomplished singers and dancers and have been recognized as superb vocal talents. Behind the scenes, the Duttons collaborate among themselves and other entertainment professionals to create unique production ideas for their crowd-pleasing show.
Dean and Sheila Dutton (Dad and Mom Dutton) were not professional musicians and they certainly weren’t planning on raising their children as such. When they realized that music was beginning to define who they were as a family, however, they embraced it wholeheartedly. Since that moment, The Duttons have not looked back and have gone on to enjoy a successful music career. Today, they own their own theater in Branson, Missouri, where they perform over 300 shows a year. They also own the hotel, and gift shop associated with the theater, and manage another theater in Mesa, Arizona, where they perform from December through April. The Duttons also do several tour dates throughout the year around the world.
While the Duttons’ musical talent is immediately obvious, what sets them apart from most shows is their ability to connect with their audiences. People are fascinated by the all-in-the-family performers whose love for each other and for what they share is definitely unique. “I, for one, have never witnessed anything like this instant rapport between performers and ticket buyers – and I’ve been attending concerts for almost six decades,” said critic Mike Kerverlas of the Sumter, S.C. Item. “In short, the Duttons are showmanship personified.”
