A tribute to the music and life of Roy Orbison will come to the Grand Theatre here on May 13, in a special Mother’s Day event.
This event will be a mix of Orbison’s classic hits and dialogue relating to the music legend.
“This will be an exciting and fun way for people to celebrate Mother’s Day” said theatre coordinator Kerry Rajotte.
Roy LeBlanc, regarded as one of North America’s finest tribute artists, will star as Orbison.
“Orbison was, in the eyes of Elvis Presley and many other great musicians, the best singer in the world. He is a true legend and it is a privilege to sing in the memory of the irreplaceable Roy Orbison,” LeBlanc said.
Joining LeBlanc on stage will be Bill Culp and The Memphis Cats, a group of musicians dedicated to authentically reproducing the sound of legendary artists such as Orbison, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and Buddy Holly.
The Roy Orbison Mother’s Day show will be held May 13 at 2pm.
Tickets are $25.
Those tickets are available by calling 519-787-1981 or on-line at www.fergusgrandtheatre.ca.
