Join us at The Mansion Theatre for these special holiday performances featuring the Gatlin Brothers and Debby Boone.
More than 50 years ago, Larry, Steve, and Rudy Gatlin started singing in their little hometown of Abilene, Texas, and from there went on to make music history. Over the course of a four-decade career that has taken the Gatlin Brothers from dusty Texas stages to White House performances, from Broadway to Grammy Awards, to the top of the country charts, there has been one unifying element, music.
There's no harmony quite as pure as family harmony. Raised on Gospel music, the brothers first began entertaining audiences in churches and then with guest appearances on the Slim Willet radio and TV shows in Abilene, Texas when they were 2, 4, and 6 years old. Larry says that their history as "gospel music junkies" came from those early roots.
Debby Boone earned instant fame when her first single, “You Light Up My Life," was an overnight hit. The tune claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts for 10 straight weeks and sold in excess of 4 million copies. “You Light Up My Life” ranks No. 7 on Billboard Magazine’s The Hot 100’s All-Time Top-Charting Songs of the last five decades. Debby received the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of the Year, has since won two additional Grammy Awards, and earned seven Grammy nominations.
