The concert features over two hours of rockabilly hits from Mueller as Holly, Ray Anthony as Valens, and special guest Jay P. Richardson, the Big Bopper's son. The show features the hit songs such as "That'll Be the Day," "Peggy Sue" and "Chantilly Lace."

Checker scored his first hit when "The Class" reached No. 38 on the Billboard charts in 1959. His success continued that year when he recorded Hank Ballard's "The Twist." Checker's dance version went to No. 1.
Checker has sold more than 250 million records worldwide, which places him at No. 56 in all-time record sales.
