Brothers sing, dance, clown around

In the tradition of the Osmond Brothers - handsome young family men overflowing with talent and energy - come the Hughes Brothers, a modern version of a '70s phenomenon.

The heyday of variety shows when families like the Osmonds, the Jackson Five, or the Carpenters sang, danced and goofed off may be in the past, but the tradition is alive in Branson, Mo., where the Hughes Brothers have their home base.

They're bringing their act to Monroe's River Raisin Centre for the Arts, 114 South Monroe St., tomorrow night at 8 p.m.

The five Hughes brothers - Marty, Jason, Adam, Ryan, and Andy - ranging in age from 25 to 35, make versatility the centerpiece of their performances. They play contemporary country hits, doing highly choreographed dance routines, clown around, and even do high-brow songs on Spanish classical guitar.

Tickets for the show are $30 and can be purchased at the door. Call 734-242-7722 for information.
