The Osmond Brothers Bring Five Decades of Family Entertainment to John Ascuaga’s Nugget

Sparks/Reno, Nev. – With deep-seated roots in the last half-decade of popular culture, and a family name synonymous with enduring music business success, the Osmond Brothers are a staple in the entertainment world. See brothers Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Jimmy – the Osmond Brothers - in the Celebrity Showroom April 1-3 at John Ascuaga’s Nugget.
Following the breakout success of the Jackson 5 in 1970, it was practically inevitable that a pre-existing band of brothers, who had already enjoyed almost a decade in the national spotlight, would follow them to teen idol superstardom. With dynamic youngest brother Donny as a focal point (much like Michael was for the Jacksons), the Osmonds did exactly that, enjoying a run of massive popularity during 1971-1972. While their success as a unit began to wane and had flickered out by the end of 1974, the Osmonds spun off a long-lasting show business career for Donny (as well as sister Marie), and the other members of the group have enjoyed success as country artists.
Beginning in the early '80s, the four eldest members of the Osmonds - Alan, Merrill, Wayne, and Jay - performed together as a country act under the name the Osmond Brothers and achieved respectable commercial success. In 1996, Alan retired from performing, and Jimmy Osmond took his place. They continued to release albums available through their website and The Osmond Family Theatre in Branson, MO.
The Osmond Brothers perform three nights, April 1-3, in the Celebrity Showroom at 8 p.m. Tickets are just $29 and are available by calling (800) 648-1177 or (775) 356-3300 or by visiting janugget.com. Dinner and show packages are available. “Do The Nugget Tonight!”
