Tim’s musical journey started on a farm beneath Mount St. Helens, where his first loyal fans were—no kidding—the cows he sang to. From those pasture-side concerts, he chased his dream all the way to Nashville, landed on the Grand Ole Opry stage, scored charting songs, and built a 24‑year career as a Branson entertainer. He also founded GUMI CAMP, a nonprofit helping America’s veterans, staying true to the “help others first” values he grew up with. These days he performs over 100 shows a year, including his popular George Strait tribute—and on May 15th, he’s bringing that talent (and charm) straight to the Coaldale Schoolhouse.

Doors Open at 6:00 pm Concert at 7:00 pm. Advance Tickets: $20 Call: 417-294-5248 At the Door: $25 (Seating capped at 90. )

Mighty Squirrel Productions welcomes back the incomparable Patsy O’Brien for an intimate spring concert at the Historic Coaldale Schoolhouse. A longtime favorite of the venue, Patsy first played the Schoolhouse just weeks before the 2020 lockdown, and his return always feels like a homecoming. His performances blend masterful guitar work, original songwriting, and traditional Celtic ballads—including pieces like “Jack ‘Brien,” a modern composition that sounds centuries old.

The Schoolhouse hosts rising singer‑songwriter Sam Robbins for an evening concert on August 1. Often called an “old‑soul troubadour,” Sam’s sound blends the warmth of James Taylor and Jackson Browne with a modern, upbeat edge. His song “Hard to Hate” shows exactly why audiences—and festivals like Kerrville and Falcon Ridge—have embraced him. Critics are already calling him “one of the most promising new songwriters of his generation.”
