Egyptian Theatre brings rock ’n’ roll nostalgia to DeKalb with John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party

Raue Center for the Arts will host John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party® at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20.

Rock ’n’ roll history comes alive at the historic Egyptian Theatre in downtown DeKalb when John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party takes the stage at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25.

Presented in the spirit of the legendary Winter Dance Party tour of 1959, the high-energy tribute concert celebrates the music of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper—three icons whose careers helped shape the sound of American rock music, according to a news release from the Egyptian Theatre.

Mueller, widely recognized as one of the nation’s top Buddy Holly tribute artists, delivers a performance praised for its authenticity, musical precision and heartfelt storytelling.

Backed by a live band, the show recreates the excitement of the era with period-accurate arrangements and fan favorites such as “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “La Bamba” and “Chantilly Lace.”

The family-friendly matinee performance offers audiences of all ages a chance to experience the timeless music that inspired generations of artists and fans alike.

Tickets are available now at egyptiantheatre.org or by calling the box office at 815-758-1215.
