The Duttons, touring and recording artists with their own theater in Branson, Mo., will play music ranging from bluegrass to classical at Wartburg College Thursday, April 4.

Named by critics as “Branson’s Best Show,” the Duttons will perform during the annual Wartburg Artist Series family performance at 7:30 p.m. in Neumann Auditorium.
Accomplished singers, they also play a variety of instruments — violin, guitar, bass, viola, banjo, mandolin, keyboard, harmonica and drums among others.

The 15-member, three-generation Duttons have appeared in their own hour-long PBS specials and were Top Ten finalists on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” They perform 300 shows annually at their theater in Branson and have a second theater in Mesa, Ariz.

Tickets are $24-$35 and can be purchased at the ticket office in Saemann Student Center, Monday-Friday, noon-4 p.m., online at www.wartburg.edu/artist/ or by calling 319-352-8691.
