Written by opera-veteran Matthew Lord with music arranged by award-winning composer Craig Bohmler, and starring Mr. Lord, Blake Davidson, and Grace Lord, The 3 Redneck Tenors were top finalists on “America’s Got Talent” and have been thrilling audiences since 2006.
Join our 3 singing cousins as they stamped their way through Broadway’s greatest hits! You’ll hear them belt out their versions of tunes from such favorite shows as “Phantom of the Opera,” “South Pacific” “Annie,” “Les Misérables,” “Oklahoma” and many others. Whether you love food on a stick or a salad from the Waldorf, this show has something for you! Get ready for one side-splitting ride as we go on an excursion only The 3 Redneck Tenors could have had… delighting audiences with their vocal prowess and a smorgasbord of songs, ranging from Country to Broadway to Classical and everything in between!

His music videos are featured on CMT and GAC, as well as, national television shows, and he has had the honor of sharing the stage with such big-name stars as Chris Young, Carrie Underwood, Clay Walker, Lonestar, and Martina McBride, to name but a few.
