Hosted by animated puppet characters, the show premise is a colorful combination of Laugh In, Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live and Mystery Science Theatre, and will spotlight guest interviews and artist performances from the Waterhole Stage.
Upcoming shows will feature special appearances and performances by Johnny Garcia (Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks’ lead guitarist,) Anthony Krizan of Spin Doctors fame, hit songwriter Becky Hobbs, Nashville up and comers Liv Noelle, and of course Gibson and the puppets. Watch a Sneak Peek:
Created by Gibson alongside award-winning songwriter Cheryl DaVeiga, The Waterhole Bunch was produced by Mark Dreyer and Waterhole Productions and delivered in association with http://www.voyageairguitar.com.
“It all started with a song that turned into a twisted tale gone wrong,” Gibson said. “The idea became larger-than life and turned into a fun, comedic live entertainment production with puppets and humans making music and mayhem. It’s a show the entire family can enjoy.” Watch Gibson sing the Frog Song
