THE SPIRIT OF THE SUWANNEE MUSIC PARK, LIVE OAK, FLA – The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and Campground (SOSMP) stage will be hot this Friday night when famed country artist Steve Branch (formerly of Branch and Dean) takes the stage to entertain you! Steve, now back in North Florida, spent a long time in Nashville with Dean Scallan as the famous country duo of Branch and Dean, performing, song writing and recording. Together they wrote and recorded such great songs as Your Ol’ Lady's Gone and The Forgetter. While they were known for their exceptional songwriting skills and high-energy live shows, Branch and Dean also worked tirelessly as the National Ambassadors for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CF). Branch’s distinctive vocals anchored the duo’s breakthrough hit, The Dash, a tribute to Steve’s 23-year-old son, Theron, who died after years battling CF. “Life goes by so fast and our stories are defined by how we spend that dash,” Branch sings in the hauntingly beautiful ballad. Expect to be singing along with Steve Branch March 10 in the Music Hall as he bring pure country along with old country!

Steve will also share the stage with one of our guests’ favorite singers, Keith Thrift, paying tribute to Conway Twitty with a few songs
