Tom Lounges Entertainment presents...
A TRIBUTE TO BUDDY HOLLY
"The Day The Music Died" starring KENNY JAMES & RAVE ON

Live @ Hobart Art Theater / 230 Main Street / Hobart, Indiana

ONE NIGHT ONLY! Doors 6:00pm / Show 7:00pm

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.

KENNY JAMES has performed his critically acclaimed tribute to rock 'n' roll pioneer Buddy Holly all across the United States over the years, garnering rave reviews at top theaters, concert halls and festivals.

A native of Northwest Indiana, James has lived and performed throughout America, and has been booked for extended residency engagements in such live entertainment hubs as Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as in Branson, Missouri, and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

These days James only performs a few regional appearances each year. James & Rave On performed at Hobart Art Theater in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023 to "rave" reviews (pun intended!), so Tom Lounges Entertainment is bringing this special Buddy Holly remembrance concert back to the venue on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1st.

Doors at 6:00pm / Showtime at 7:00pm.Save on ticket fees by purchasing physical tickets in advance at TOM LOUNGES RECORD BIN (218 Main St.) in Hobart. Ticket prices increase by $5 at the door on the day of show.
