A young Johnny Vallis imitated his teacher one day and was sent to the principal�s office. �Why are you here�, asked the principal? Johnny showed him. The principal said, �That�s really good�. Johnny Vallis, the man of many voices, has been imitating people ever since. Johnny made a name for himself with a particular voice.

Buddy Holly was �the single most influential creative force in early Rock n� Roll�. Tragically, on February 3, 1959 he left us, but his music and will never fade away. In his tribute to the Rock icon, Johnny Vallis perfectly portrays both the look and the sound as he rolls out Buddy�s greatest hits; �That�ll Be The Day�, �Words of Love�, �Not Fade Away�, Oh Boy�, �Peggy Sue�, �Maybe Baby�, �Rave On!�, �Heartbeat� and more! With the addition of an upright bass, drums and a second guitar Vallis creates the authentic experience, just like Holly and the boys, playing the vintage instruments with all the spirit of Rock and Roll.
