Charles Hardin Holley was “the single most influential creative force in early Rock n’ Roll”. Tragically, on February 3, 1959 the voice of BUDDY HOLLY was silenced, but his music and his influence 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!

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. While he grew up dreaming of being Elvis Johnny has made a name for himself perfecting his portrayal of legendary pioneer BUDDY HOLLY.

The Commissionaires Vicki Pettigrew states, “I have personally seen Johnny perform on at least five occasions. He has displayed over and over again a high level of entertainment value. He has proven to be a capable entertainer and a true gentleman. I highly recommend Johnny Vallis to any group. His impersonations, singing and music is everything you would imagine, you will not be disappointed.” Anne Van Kirk of Bulter Brothers Supplies Ltd relates, “Some of our guests had seen Johnny perform before and were looking forward to the show; those who hadn’t were surprised by his versatility and professionalism. Many guests came to us afterwards to say how much they had enjoyed the performance. I will invite Johnny Vallis to entertain at other functions given by our Company.” Hilary Jordan – The Bay (Victoria) concludes “I have the good fortune of knowing Johnny Vallis since he first performed for us as a teenager in 1989 for Children with Disabilities. Since then he has grown into a very versatile entertainer. Johnny can do it all.

A professional who takes much pride in his performance and is extremely polite and easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to experience world class entertainment.”
