tribute to our fallen heroes as well as the families of those who serve

the United States and Canada where they see and enjoy the freedoms
and beauty of this great country and they present it all to you in
song. They perform shows in Nashville and Las Vegas and have just
opened the own theater in Branson. Exciting, funny, energetic and
charismatic personalities, Ron and Kay Rivoli are awesome entertainers
who perform to packed houses. Their comedic antics on stage combined
with their music create a show that is pure entertainment.
