About this Event
Billy McGuigan’s shows have sold out countless performances and have broken box office and attendance records in several theaters across the country. Career highlights have included playing with Buddy Holly’s Lead Guitarist and Grammy Award winner, Tommy Allsup, and Rock-a-Billy hall of fame and writer of ‘Oh Boy’ and ‘Rave On’, Sonny West. Billy won the Spotlight Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Buddy Holly in Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story.
Billy’s love of music comes directly from his father, Bill. With an out of tune guitar and tattered Beatle chord books, Billy, his brothers and Dad would spend countless hours at the dining room table learning to play and appreciate the music we all grew up listening to.
Shortly after Bill’s death in 1996, at the age of 42 after a short battle with leukemia, the McGuigan Brothers turned to the music their Dad taught them as kids to help deal with the loss of their father. Not only did they find healing in the music, it lead to the creation of Rave On Productions where the mission is to create live concert experiences with the sole purpose of connecting audiences together through memories and music. The set list for the evening will be compiled from audience requests of Beatles songs and will highlight their stories.
