The Alliance Arts Council will bring the fantastic 50’s back to the stage on Saturday, February 24 with a performance by The Holy Rocka Rollaz!
If it’s the classic early rock’n’roll and rockabilly of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash (and many more) that you enjoy, played just the way those legends played it … you have found your dream band! Minnesota’s own Holy Rocka Rollaz bring back the sound, the look, the memories and nostalgia of one of America’s most treasured eras. There’s nothing but pure early American Rock’N’Roll about them.
Front man Mark Flora with fellow musicians, drummer Matt Alexander & stand up bassist/vocalist Lisa Linn, have played stages from State Fairs, festivals, barn dances, car shows and prisons. The bands first show together was in the Sough Dakota State Penitentiary several years ago, serving in a ministry capacity, where Flora has been sharing good news to inmates since 2003. “We were having so much fun playing in the State Pen that we decided to take our music to car shows and other events. We really do enjoy playing 50’s rock’n’roll just the way it was played back in the day.” Nothing pleases these entertainment veterans more than seeing different generations enjoy this classic music together. The Holy Rocka Rollaz play with such energy and joy that people of all ages can’t help but enjoy them.
The performance will be on Saturday, February 24, 7:00 p.m. at the Alliance High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 for Adults, $9 for Seniors and $5 for Students. Tickets are available at Carnegie Arts Center and the Chamber and will also be sold at the door.
Co-presenters for the concert are FNBO, FNIC, Western Nebraska Real Estate, KCOW/Double Q Country Radio and Harris Sales.
