Oh Boys' Buddy Holly Tribute$25, $39.50
Doors: Sep 14, 2024 1:30 PM
This dynamic show features hits like “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Oh Boy” and “Rave On”. Zachary Stevenson presents Buddy Holly so perfectly that we seem to be watching a genuine replica of the nerdy, and hip young Texan. He has the guitar licks down and his superb vocals make him equally comfortable with the sweet ballads or on-the-edge rockabilly songs, including Holly’s trademark hiccup and energetic dance moves that often brings the audience to their feet.
Above and beyond the music, Stevenson weaves in engaging stories about Buddy and of his personal experience in the role, including his travels to Iowa, New Mexico and Texas seeking a greater understanding of the man and his music. He gives context to the songs and pays tribute to Buddy’s friends - The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, Dion and Eddie Cochrane - and delivers a dynamic show uniquely his own.
Having led sold out productions of the Buddy Holly Story across Canada and the US, with well over a thousand performances under his belt, Stevenson is a true showman who exudes charm and knows how to connect with an audience. In 2018, he was awarded a Jeff Award in Chicago for most outstanding lead performance in a musical. Stevenson will be supported by well-loved Philadelphia psychedelic-rock trio, Echo Kid, featuring Kieran McCabe (drums), Christian Turzo (guitar), and Brendan McHale (bass). Echo Kid released their fourth studio album and headlined a show at Johnny Brenda's in Fishtown, Philadelphia in June of this year. The band is excited to bring their raucous energy to these 50s hits.
You will be singing along to “Teenager in Love”, sighing over “True Love Ways” and dancing to the “Hand Jive” as Stevenson’s performance transcends the generation gap and proves Buddy’s music is timeless and will “Not Fade Away.”
