The Oak Ridge Boys Announce ‘American Made: Farewell Tour’

Marking their 50th Anniversary celebration this October, The Oak Ridge Boys have announced a farewell tour with band members Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban.

The “American Made: Farewell Tour” will kick off at The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts in Branson, Missouri, on Wednesday and run up to December 17.

“We are doing a farewell tour because we owe it to our fans to say goodbye,” said baritone singer William Lee Golden. “They have always been there for us through the good times and the bad. I will always be thankful to every person who came out to a show, bought a t-shirt, played our music, and overall, loved us enough to spend their hard-earned money whenever they could. This tour is for you!”

“I want to thank God for 50 years of singing with three of my best friends and for the fans who have been there for us,” added bassist Richard Sterban. “This is a celebration and we hope to see you there.”

With an astounding thirty-seven Top 20 country hits, with twelve gold, three platinum, and one double-platinum album, The Oak Ridge Boys have made their mark in every facet of the gospel, pop, and country music industry.

“I was 25 years old in 1973 when I joined The Oak Ridge Boys,” says tenor Joe Bonsall. “I am 75 years old in 2023 and I am STILL an Oak Ridge Boy. It has been and still IS an amazing ride.”
