Shadows Over Clear Lake: An Evening of Truth, Tragedy and Legacy
Shadows Over Clear Lake: An Evening of Truth, Tragedy and Legacy
On a winter night in 1959, the music stopped – but the story didn’t.
Join author and historian Tommy Canale for a one-night presentation that goes beyond the legends of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, and the history-making 1959 Winter Dance Party.
This is an immersive evening about memory, myth, and the legacy that still echoes more than 65 years later. Explore the puzzling research, hidden records, and overlooked moments that shaped rock ’n’ roll’s most tragic event — and forever changed the course of American music.
