The 2018-19 edition of the Estevan Arts Council’s Estevan Concert Series (formerly known as Stars for Saskatchewan) will kick off with a tribute to a famous rock legend.

Rave On: A Buddy Holly Tribute will be performed at Estevan Comprehensive School on Sept. 15, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Holly was a legend of rock and roll. His music touched the lives of millions of people around the world, and sparked a new genre of music that changed the entertainment industry. His died in a well-known and tragic plane crash of 1959.

Rave on: A Buddy Holly Tribute brings this pioneer of rock music back to life in an exciting show, and plays hit after hit while spectators dance the night away. Formed in 2011 in Brandon, Man., the band has played dozens of shows across rural Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and continues to captivate audiences with its authentic throwback to the 1950s.

Not a single show ends without a dance floor, so concert goers often leave feeling as if they’ve stepped right out of their high school sock-hop.

Advance tickets are available at a discount at Henders Drugs, on ticketpro.ca, or at the Estevan Arts Council’s office. Regular priced tickets will be available at the door.
