ONE NIGHT ONLY! FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6th

This week marks the 66th 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 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6th commemorates that anniversary and serves to remind audiences of the infulence and impact Buddy Holly and his music had on popular music around the globe during his short life, and it 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.

Although the group still performs dates around the country, James only performs a few regional Northwest Indiana appearances each year. James & Rave On has performed at HOBART ART THEATER in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 to "rave" reviews (pun intended!), so Tom Lounges Entertainment is proud to once again bring this special Buddy Holly remembrance concert back to the venue on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6th.

Doors at 6:00pm / Showtime at 7:00pm. $AVE ON TICKET FEES by purchasing physical tickets in advance at TOM LOUNGES RECORD BIN (218 Main St.) in Hobart, which is right next door to the theater. Ticket prices increase by $5 at the door on the day of show.
