Branson show veteran Clay Cooper stars in his very own venue this year.

You may know Clay Cooper from his outstanding performances as host and male vocalist for several Branson shows, including "Texas Goldminers," "Country Tonite" and "Paul Harris Live." In 2007, after 20 years in Branson, Clay will bring his cast of 15 veteran entertainers to his very own venue, the Clay Cooper Theatre.

"Clay Cooper's Country Music Express" is an all-new, high-energy show. Joining Clay center-stage for the 2007 season will be: Fifteen-year-old singing sensation Jenna Crispin; gun-slingin', rope-twirlin' Johnny Lonestar; the Country Express Dancers, and the Boys in the Band. But "the real star" of the show just might be 3-year-old Colton Cooper. He is definitely a showstopper.

Clay is also proud to announce the newest member of the Music Express, funnyman Matt Gumm. Matt, a 15-year comedic veteran, has performed for several years in his hometown, Lake of the Ozarks, Mo. He definitely puts the laugh in laughable and the fun in funny.
