The Wichita Theatre was packed to the rafters Friday night for Rock N Roll Heaven, a triple threat tribute show featuring Johnny Rogers as Buddy Holly, Al Nelson as Roy Orbison and Kraig Parker as the King, Elvis Presley.
In an earlier post I reminded you of who Buddy, Roy and Elvis were. (As if you needed reminding!) This time I thought I'd tell you a bit more about the performers.
On the heels of the well received musical, Hairspray, earlier this month, a taste of Rock & Roll Heaven comes to the Wichita Theatre Friday night, July 29th.
I wasn't even born in 1959 when Buddy Holly's plane crashed in a field in Northwest Iowa, but I was mildly familiar with his music from the "Golden Oldies" I'd hear on my transistor radio late at night. Then came the movie, The Buddy Holly Story, starring Gary Busey as Buddy, and I was hooked on his music.
Friday night, July 29th, finds not only Buddy's music rocking the Wichita Theatre, but Roy Orbison's and Elvis Presley's music as well.
Now that's what I call Rock & Roll Heaven!
Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles surprised Kenny Chesney when she "Stayed" in 2008 and Elvis Presley did a bit of recording at the Sun Studios in Memphis in 1954.
