John Mueller’s “Winter Dance Party” ® is the official live and authentic re-creation of Buddy
Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper's final tour and the only show endorsed by the Holly,
Valens and Richardson estates. Each live concert performance includes over two hours of
unbridled, high voltage entertainment featuring all the hit songs of the 50s era: That'll Be The
Day, Peggy Sue, Oh, Boy, Rave on, La Bamba, Chantilly Lace, and many, many more.
John Mueller, the critically acclaimed former star of the U.S. touring version of the
London/Broadway hit musical "Buddy..the Buddy Holly Story" performs as Buddy Holly and
Linwood Sasser fills the legendary footsteps of the Big Bopper. Ray Anthony performs as
Ritchie Valens and was a renowned star of the "Legends of Rock and Roll" show at the Imperial
Palace in Las Vegas. The very authentic and energetic four piece band (guitar, drums, stand up
bass and sax) includes Craig Harbaugh on saxophone.
The Winter Dance Party show has performed in front of over 2 million people on national TV for
the Jerry Lewis Telethon, has toured extensively throughout the United States and Canada at
theatres, performing arts centers, ballrooms, corporate events, casinos and even the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame along with John Mellencamp, Marshall Crenshaw and others.
Highlights over the years have included receiving the keys to the city of Green Bay, WI from
the Mayor, playing in the legendary Surf ballroom on the same day Buddy, Ritchie, and the Big
Bopper did 50 years prior and performing on stage with Maria Elena Holly (Buddy's widow),
Niki Sullivan (an original Cricket band member) and Tommy Allsup (original Winter Dance
Party guitarist and legendary Nashville producer.)
