A Tribute to Buddy Holly with Kenny James and Rave On

This February 3rd marks the 65th Anniversary of what’s come to be known as “the day the music died” — when in the early morning hours in 1959, a small airplane carrying early rock pioneers Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens crashed in a frozen Iowa cornfield killing all on board.

This special tribute concert on the anniversary weekend of the crash reminds audiences of the impact Buddy Holly had on popular music around the globe during his short life, and underscores Holly’s tremendous and enduring legacy.

Every live performance by KENNY JAMES & RAVE ON includes all the expected hits, but it also some deeper cuts from Holly’s incredible catalog of songs, along with some historical commentary about the man and his music. Along with Buddy’s songs, James often wraps up his concerts with an encore set of songs by other oldies artists who were influenced and inspired by Holly and his music.
