Each February, Bob Bates puts on a special tribute to the three musicians we lost in 1959 when the plane they were in crash on take off.

Known as the Day the Music Died (immortalized in song by Don McLean), Bob's tribute show features the music of Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly.

This year's show is February 13 at The Strand Theatre in Hudson Falls.
