THE TEXAS TENORS

Last Thursday, we attended another special event hosted by The Palms RV Resort and this time it was the Texas Tenors.  They were semi-finalists in the TV show “America’s Got Talent” a year ago and they really are amazingly talented.  

Here’s a clip from the press:

The Texas Tenors: A Made-in-America Success Story

One year ago three friends were struggling to pay the bills. Flash forward one year and the three friends are singing to sold out venues across the world...here is their amazing story.

Springfield, MO (PRWEB) December 1, 2010

  Don't be fooled by their somber black suits and cowboy hats. The Texas Tenors take their music seriously, but never themselves. Weaving effortlessly from John Denver to Puccini to “West Side Story,” the trio takes their audience on a musical ride from West Virginia to Italy to New York City, pausing between genres long enough only to tell stories and smile for pictures.

And why shouldn't they smile?

  One year ago, these three friends—Marcus Collins, JC Fisher, and John Hagen—were struggling to pay the bills. On a whim, after having performed together only a couple of times, the trio decided to audition in Houston, Texas, for “America's Got Talent,” a televised talent show judged by Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and David Hasselhoff—and 100 million viewers. The three friends won the hearts of millions of fans, which landed them into the finals, making them the highest ranking vocal group in the history of the show.

The performance was filled with many songs, a little bit of information about each of the tenors, some audience interaction that had everybody laughing and an interesting story about one of them attending a Luciano Pavarotti opera and getting so caught up in the experience, he started singing back to Luciano Pavarotti from the audience.

The songs they sang for us ranged from classic opera, new country, classic ballads, gospel and even a song (Wild Horses) originally sung by the Rolling Stones.  There was something for everyone in the audience and both performances were well attended (over 900 people at each performance) and enjoyed by all.  The Texas Tenors were on a performance tour in Arizona and we were their 11^th stop--well worth attending.
