Granbury Live – Granbury Live

For an entertainer to be successful they must bring forth a level of originality in their performance. Audiences crave unique and memorable experiences as opposed to seeing and hearing the same old songs sung the same old way. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen young performers who want to sing and act just like Garth Brooks or Blake Shelton or Miranda Lambert. They don’t seem to understand there is ALREADY a Garth Brooks; we don’t need someone who sings and performs just like him!

When I think of original performers I think of people like George Jones, Tony Bennett, Elvis and the like. People who made their mark in the entertainment world because they were “different” than everyone else! We are very fortunate to have one of the most original entertainers in Texas regularly perform at Granbury Live; the one and only Michael Hix.

If you have seen Michael perform you know exactly what I mean, and if you haven’t I can only say he has more energy in his presentation than just about any other performer I have ever seen. This energy he brings to the stage, swoops up the audience as they sit memorized trying to guess what he may do next! He may sing, he may bring someone from the audience up on stage, or he might go out into the audience and sing from there! His silly humor and the great music make for a combo which is both original and full of the pizzazz which audiences adore.

Michael Hix will be at Granbury Live on March 3 at 3 and 7 pm presenting, “Let’s Go to Vegas” a variety show featuring the songs of some of the greatest Vegas artists including Frank Sinatra, Wayne Newton, Elvis and Celine Dion. With Michael’s mad cap comedy and whirlwind style, this is a show which will leave you thoroughly entertained and in the end, wondering how one person could pack that much energy in one single show!

Come and see one of the most original and energetic acts you will ever have the pleasure to see;

As we get closer and closer to February a block of the calendar which I refer to as “Texas History Time” begins. For those of you who don’t remember, the Battle of the Alamo started in February, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed March 2, and the Battle of San Jacinto who won our freedom from Mexico, was on April 21. During this brief period there are hundreds of great stories about the brave men and women who fought and struggled to create our Texas.

On February 17, March 11, April 20 and 22, at the Granbury Live Theater It will be my pleasure to present “The Lion of Texas-An Evening with Sam Houston”; the amazing story of the most iconic character in the history of Texas. This one-man play is full of humor, amazing tales, and sound and visual effects which will transform you to the living room of the great General Sam and make you feel like you are having a private conversation! Inspiring, patriotic, and enriching, this show has been performed throughout Texas to rave reviews! You will laugh, be amazed at the “living history” of General Sam’s life, and appreciate his thoughts and concerns about the Texas of today. No Texan can see the show and not be moved by the dramatic story of the Texas Revolution, the loss of the Alamo and Goliad and the exciting victory at San Jacinto.

Actual comments from people who have seen “The Lion of Texas -An Evening with Sam Houston”:

“I did not grow up in Texas and only vaguely knew the story of Sam Houston and the Texas revolution. No wonder all these Texans are so proud! What an epic story and presented so well!
“It made my chest swell with pride…wonderfully written and beautifully performed. Something every Texan should see”
“My emotions swung in every direction. I found myself laughing, crying, swelling with pride, and looking on in amazement. The kind of show everyone should see and will be glad they did”

Importantly, the March 11 show is a fund raiser for the Comanche Peak Detachment of the Marine Corp League (The people who make Toy’s for Tots happen at Christmas and lots of other great things for Marine Corp Veterans).

Get your tickets to this exciting and entertaining show. If you are from Texas, you will love it! If you are new to Texas, you will appreciate it! If you aren’t from Texas we will all feel sorry for you!

Never Miss a Show!
