Rave On! The Buddy Holly Tribute February 12, 2009

DeWitt Performing Arts Season Performance.

Remember poodle skirts? How about carhops, the twist, hula hoops, and Buddy Holly?
Well, the ‘50s aren’t just a thing of the past. Today “Rave On!” Productions presents an electrifying show paying homage to rock-and-roll’s immortal legend Buddy Holly. This feel-good blast from the past performance showcases some of the greatest hits of Buddy Holly and his band, the Crickets. Audiences will enjoy such classic hits as “That’ll Be The Day,” “Maybe Baby,” “Peggy Sue Got Married,” and “Words of Love.” Rave On! has performed to sell out crowds locally and nationally. The impact of the music will make a lasting impression on audiences of all ages. This show has received attention and critical acclaim from reviewers and audience members all over the United States.
As part of this revue that he created himself, Billy McGuigan has received national acclaim for his portrayals of the legendary rock-and-roll icon Buddy Holly. Audiences continue to be awed by his realism, sincerity, and talent. His interpretation of Buddy Holly has taken him all over the United States. Close your eyes and it is uncanny how the sounds you hear will make you think that Buddy has returned for one more show--right down to the trademark vocal hiccup and deep growl he used for emphasis. This is a high energy, show stopping, toe tapping program that you don’t believe.
The “rave” reviews are seemingly endless!
