Joshua Josué’s “Come On, Let’s Go” Tribute Comes to Hidden Hall —Celebrating the Legacy of Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens
Bellingham, WA – February 14, 2026 | Doors 8:00 PM | Show 9:00 PM | Hidden Hall
Tickets: $10 presale
Acclaimed performer Joshua Josué brings his annual tribute concert honoring Ritchie
Valens and Buddy Holly to Hidden Hall in Bellingham, Washington, for an unforgettable
Valentine’s weekend celebration of timeless rock ’n’ roll.
This year’s event also marks the album release of Broadcast to the Surf Ballroom — a
remarkable project in which Joshua completes several unfinished songs by Ritchie Valens and
Buddy Holly, respectfully recorded and newly brought to life for modern audiences.
“I don’t try to be Buddy Holly and I don’t try to be Ritchie Valens,” Josué said from his Portland
home. “I try to represent their music the best I can. I don’t want to make a caricature of Buddy
Holly or Ritchie Valens; the world lost them. I just do my best to sing their songs the way they
were intended to be sung.”
A Celebration of 66 Years Since “The Day the Music Died”
On February 14, music enthusiasts will have the privilege of experiencing Joshua’s heartfelt
tribute firsthand. Taking center stage with his talented band, Joshua will recreate the energy
and emotion of the 1950s rock ’n’ roll era with hits from Buddy Holly, Ritchie
Valens, and The Big Bopper.
From the nostalgic rhythms of “La Bamba” to the infectious energy of “That’ll Be the Day” and
the tender melody of “Donna,” the evening promises a captivating journey through the
golden age of rock and roll.
But the magic doesn’t stop there — Joshua will also explore the lesser-known treasures of
Ritchie Valens’ catalog, including “Ritchie’s Blues” and “Malagueña,” shining a light on the
depth and artistry of the Chicano musical tradition.
Not only does Joshua highlight the hits of Buddy Holly, but he also revives his early rockabilly
gems, such as “Blue Days,” “Rock Around with Ollie Vee,” and “Midnight Shift,” capturing the
youthful drive and authenticity that defined Buddy’s early sound.
More Than a Tribute — A Cultural Celebration
This is more than a performance; it’s a celebration of rock ’n’ roll history and Chicano
heritage — a fusion of cultural richness and artistic expression. Through Joshua’s soulful
renditions, he not only pays homage to these musical pioneers but also continues to weave their
influence into the modern tapestry of American music.
