The Carl Acuff Jr. Showband

Carl Acuff Jr.

Since 1992 The Carl Acuff Jr. Variety Showband has become an American Institution. The 2025 tour proves to be no exception to the rule with a dynamite show, great costuming, music and comedy. The 2024 show contains all the things that have made Carl and the band so popular over these last 30 years. We have new and old country, gospel, comedy, classic rock n roll, audience participation, impersonations and of course a salute to all of our men and women in uniform from past, present and future that is sure to have you on your feet! The group covers everyone from Hank Williams to Bruno Marrs. This show is proven in all venues: Concert Series, Corporate Events, Fairs, Festivals, Private Parties, Fundraising Shows, Opening Act Situations, Show and Dance Combinations, Casinos, and Dance Clubs. Just anywhere there is a need for great entertainment and music this is the only act you'll ever need! Carl is also the 2nd half of the Grammy award winning Country Duo The Kendall's since 2013, and also has the premiere tribute to Glen Campbell "The Wichita Lineman" starring Carl Acuff Jr. With over 4 decades of entertaining under his belt Carl is looking forward to coming to your town and performing at your venue or event! As far as the eternal question.... Is Carl related to Roy Acuff? Well I guess you'll have to ask him when you bring him to your town! Carl works with a full band, an acoustic show or will come and guest with your house band.
