The Wisconsin Area Music Industry’s (WAMI) 2009 ‘Tribute Artist of the Year’, Mark Shurilla, returns by popular demand with his famous tribute to the Winter Dance Party of 1959, a tour that starred Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, Dion and more. With his band, The Greatest Hits, and an all star cast including Liam Ford (Johnny Cash), John van Thiel (Elvis), Danny J. (“The Pavarotti of Rock”), Jayne Taylor, Marvalous Marla and 4-year-old Sheboygan phenom Valor Yost (‘The Kid in Black’), this cavalcade of stars delivers a spectacular tribute to the ‘Golden Age of Rock and Roll’.
