It will be returning with a “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes,” concert series this season. From 2006 to 2012, the Shindig Show was a staple Sunday afternoon show in the RGV. First at Bentsen Palm RV Resort, then at Casa Del Sol RV Resort. Elaine Nelson, a well-known entertainer and Hall of Fame member, will be bringing the show back. Elaine is a member of the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame, has performed on Midwest Country Theatre, in Austin, the UK, Branson, in the Chicken House Opry and the Rhinestone Opry. The Chicken House Opry was right here in the RGV from 2007 to 2013. In 2014, Elaine had the Music Valley Theatre, or Rhinestone Opry, that was touted as a foot-tappin’, hand-clappin’, smile-breakin’, memory makin’ show. The show offered classic country music and humor that featured “The Judge,” Cousin Minnie Pearl, and many others. She was voted “Best Female Singer” by the National Traditional Country Music Association, The Austin Country Music Association, and the Texas Country Music Association. Elaine has also been nominated several times for the Valley Star Awards Best Female Singer category. Producer and star of the music variety venue, Elaine, now a fulltime resident of the RGV, is excited to resurrect this fun, engaging Branson-style show.
