Brian Skinner

Born during a total solar eclipse — this bass singing Pisces began his performing career wielding a sword and dagger as a stunt performer at a local Renaissance faire. From there he went on to become a singing/dancing Mountie at Six Flags Great America then sang bass in Branson’s '50’s at the Hop Show'. Next, he performed in a show called Fabulous 50’s Live and produced his own show - 'Jump, Jive n’ Wail' in the Wisconsin Dells. Skinner then sailed the seven seas as a guest entertainer onboard Norwegian, Disney and Royal Caribbean’s cruise lines as the creator/beat-bass of a cappella quintet 'The Cat’s Pajamas - vocal band'. From there, the Cat’s PJ’s came to Branson and performed over 1000 shows over five years. Skinner is so excited to be back in Hot Rods and High Heels for his 4th season and 3rd in Clay Cooper’s Country Express! His hobbies include jet skiing, snowboarding and juggling . . . at the same time.
