Texas will come alive as Grammy-winning superstar Peter Frampton, rock guitar pioneer Duane Eddy and special guests take the stage for Buddy Holly’s 85th Birthday Celebration with a star-studded lineup of guitar and songwriting legends.
Legendary BBC broadcaster Bob Harris OBE will serve as master of ceremonies for the once-in-a-lifetime show, featuring Frampton, Eddy and fellow rock & roll trailblazers James Burton, Steve Cropper, Albert Lee, Garry Tallent, Joe Louis Walker, Sonny West and others for “An Evening of Conversations and Song” honoring Lubbock’s most celebrated native son.
