LAKE of the OZARKS—Two entertainers will headline the Genuine Country Music Association’s (GCMA) third annual benefit Classic Country Jamboree at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, at The Lodge of Four Seasons, 315 Four Seasons Drive, Lake Ozark.
The event raises scholarship funds for students attending State Fair Community College-Lake of the Ozarks and gives traditional country music lovers a chance to hear their favorite music.
Returning by popular demand is Tim Atwood, a musician, singer, storyteller, and entertainer who is a 38-year veteran of the Grand Ole Opry staff band. New this year is Dennis Stroughmatt, fiddler extraordinaire, singer, recording artist, and entertainer.
Also featured will be Scotty Henderson, a Kansas Steel Guitar Hall of Fame member who has performed for more than 30 years; vocalist Alicia Farrell Lange, a Lake of the Ozarks native who is a demo singer and back-up vocalist in Nashville; and The Board of Directors Band, with Roy Dee and Jim Phinney on guitar, Jay Orr on drums and John Farrell on bass.
Roxane Atwood, a Nashville TV producer, announcer and voice-over artist, will emcee the event with John Farrell.
There will be a dance floor, and concessions will be available. A silent auction is planned, and raffle tickets for a new Samick D2 acoustic flat-top guitar valued at $260 are available for $5. A lifetime warranty is included, and you need not be present to win.
A special live auction will be held at intermission for an early 1940s Melody Ranch Gene Autry guitar donated by famed entertainer Monte Davidson, who bought the guitar more than 70 years ago. Davidson will play the guitar and sing a song he wrote about it.
Tickets are $15 for GCMA members, $20 for nonmembers and free for children under age 12. They are available at John Farrell Real Estate Company, 5750 Osage Beach Parkway, and SFCC-Lake of the Ozarks, 3797 Osage Beach Parkway, both in Osage Beach; and the SFCC Foundation, 3201 W. 16th St., Sedalia.
John Farrell, Brad Rigby and Tony Smith founded the GCMA in 2009 to promote, perform and maintain traditional country music.
