Rave On! The Buddy Holly Experience in Durango April 22

Community Concert Hall to feature popular rock ‘n’ roll tribute show

Durango, CO – Re-live the era of good-time rock and roll as Rave On! The Buddy Holly Experience featuring Billy McGuigan, comes to the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College Wednesday, April 22, 2015, 7:30 p.m. The dance floor will be open.

Rave On! re-invents the ordinary tribute show with an electrifying, high-energy, offering with McGuigan, lauded as America’s premier Buddy Holly interpreter who looks remarkably like the legendary rocker. Backed by the rockin’ Rave On Band, the show breathes new life into the music of the legendary Buddy Holly, including performances of “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day,” “Oh Boy,” “Rave On” and more.

McGuigan grew up in a musical family, inspired by his father on the guitar, performing the music of the Beatles. The experience instilled a love of songs that take him back to those days playing and singing with his dad and brothers, and those memories fuel McGuigan’s innate talent and desire to bring good times through music to others across the nation.

“My dad left me a great legacy,” said McGuigan. “The love of music and the desire to share it in a way that makes people laugh, dance, smile, and remember.”

The theatrical role of Buddy Holly appears to have been the part written just for McGuigan. Audiences continue to respond to his energy, realism, sincerity and talent. The role of Buddy has taken him throughout the United States, having appeared in more than 400 performances of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story. These performances broke box office and attendance records and caught the attention of the writers and producers who chose McGuigan as their “Preferred Buddy Holly” in the United States. McGuigan took that success and developed the unique tribute, Rave On! which continues the record-breaking tradition with an innovative concert format.
