 The Walker Family

Since 1986 when Blake and Angela Walker produced their first theme park show they have had the opportunity to provide top quality entertainment for amusement parks, fairs, festivals and theater venues across the country.

They also have international experience producing shows in both Holland and Japan. Now including their daughter Ivie, they tour extensively in creating entertainment experiences for audiences that combine a unique blend of illusion, comedy, sleight of hand and incredible mentalism that will amaze and leave crowds wanting more.

 The Rolf Family

Show business veteran Matt Rolf began singing with his sister, Robyn, in 1980 and toured the United States and Canada for 21 years. He was blessed with such career highlights as performances on the Grand Ole Opry,

The Louisiana Hayride, hundreds of fairs, festivals and on his own in Branson, Mo. as a part of the Jim Stafford Show. Matt married Lisa in 1997 and in 2000 moved to Branson. As they have grown as  a family, so has their love for entertaining and performing together.

Today they enjoy putting on a show that contains incredible music, fun and unique audience participation that will not only entertain but will inspire both kids and grown-ups. Since the musical tastes of the Rolf family span many styles, they enjoy performing a variety of music.

In today’s society where schedules take the family in many different directions, the Rolfs hope to use their music as a way to encourage families to have some fun and enjoy being together.
