On January 31st, music enthusiasts will have the privilege of experiencing Joshua’s heartfelt tribute firsthand. Taking center stage, Joshua and his band will skillfully render the timeless classics of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. From the foot-tapping rhythms of “La Bamba” to the infectious energy of “That’ll Be The Day," and the soulful ballad, “Donna,” Joshua’s performance promises to be a captivating journey through the golden era of rock and roll.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. In addition to the chart-toppers, Joshua will delve into the lesser-known treasures of Ritchie Valens’ repertoire, treating the audience to gems like “Ritchie’s Blues” and the enchanting “Malagueña.” These selections shine a light on the depth and versatility of the Chicano musical tradition.

This is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of rock and roll history and the Chicano heritage, and a fusion of cultural richness and artistic expression. Through Joshua’s soulful renditions, he not only pays homage to the musical greats but also leaves an indelible mark on the tapestry of Chicano musical history.

With Portland blues-guitar troubadour Ben Rice, bassist Keith McCarthy, and drummer Vince Adamé, Joshua brings to life the music that inspired him and a generation of guitar bands.
