The choice was clear and they set out to make their show the most exciting on the Branson Strip. The Haygoods became the youngest performing family in the history of Branson to ever open their own show on the 76 Strip.Īt the end of a tough first season, The Haygoods had to make the decision to push ahead despite financial hardships or to give up the music business and lead “normal” lives. The move from a theme park to town was more than a location change, the three oldest Haygoods also took creativeĪnd financial control of the show and began to make their mark on the show and music scene. With a generous loan from Grandma and Grandpa Haygood, The Haygood brothers took a giant risk and opened their own show on the Branson Strip in 2001. The Haygoods completed over 6,000 shows during their time at Silver Dollar City. The drive and persistence of oldest brother Timothy resulted in the family show becoming the most successful, highest rated show in the history of Silver Dollar City. For eight years, the family grew up at the theme park, performing six shows a day, six days a week while taking music and dance lessons as well as completing schoolwork. In 1993, the family moved to Branson, Missouri and began performing daily shows at Silver Dollar City. As children, they played music and sang at festivals and fairs all across the Midwest. Pretty soon the Haygood kids were singing in harmony, playing fiddle tunes, and dancing as part of the act. Due to his classical violin training, Timothy was an accomplished fiddler very quickly at a very young age. In 1987, Timothy began taking country fiddle lessons. Timothy’s brothers grew up watching him play the violin and they wanted to be just like him, so they began learning the instrument as well, except for Patrick who chose the marimbas as his instrument. Afterwards, Timothy was inspired and begged his mom to get him into lessons, so Mom Haygood enrolled him into classical violin lessons. In 1983, at the age of 5, the oldest brother Timothy was watching “Sesame Street” on PBS and world famous violinist, Itzhak Perlman, was performing on the show. The Haygoods grew up in very humble beginnings in a small mobile home in the backwoods of The Ozark Mountains. ![]()
