About this Event

Zachary Stevenson nails the rock 'n' roll legend in a full-throttle tribute that fires on all cylinders” -The Vancouver Sun

The Buddy Holly Tribute is a dynamite two-act show featuring such hits as “That’ll Be the Day”, “Peggy Sue”, “Oh Boy and “Rave On”. 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 to a “t” and his superb vocals make him equally comfortable with the sweet ballads or on-the-edge rock-a-billy songs… including Holly’s trademark hiccup and energetic dance moves that often brings the audience to their feet.

Zachary Stevenson… is the epitome of effortless cool with a gorgeous voice and a star-quality stage presence.” - Vancouver Presents.

Having led a dozen sell-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.

If you don’t like him, you don’t like much of anybody.” -Chicago Tribune Above

Beyond the music, Zachary weaves in engaging stories about Buddy and 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. Zach will have the audience singing along to “Teenager in Love”, sighing over “True Love Ways” and dancing to the “Hand Jive” in a captivating performance that transcends the generation gap and proves Buddy’s music is timeless and will “Not Fade Away”.

Stevenson… is proof that Buddy Holly lives.” -WTTW Chicago
