Band Bio

Whether you need a surefire hit at your theatrical venue, or the perfect group for your special celebration, The Rave Ons provide dozens of entertainment options to suit your every need!

Todd Meredith & The Rave-Ons are a high energy rock and roll band originally formed to revitalize the music of Buddy Holly and the Crickets. They produce and star in two different Buddy Holly tribute shows as well as a 50’s and 60’s rock and roll tribute. For concerts, they have over a hundred and fifty early rock and roll tunes in their repertoire. They have played together all over the world, dazzling audiences at such venues as:

​Norwegian Cruise Lines​
Holland America Cruise Lines
BB Kings Blues Club, NYC
and numerous other clubs, theaters, restaurants, and civic centers from coast to coast–including Buddy Holly’s hometown of Lubbock, Texas! Audiences agree, the Rave-Ons give their shows an energy and exuberance that cannot be matched!

THAT’LL BE THE DAY gives a fresh take on the catalog of Buddy Holly & The Crickets, featuring all the band’s hits as well as some lesser known gems. Buddy is a true music pioneer and is considered by many to be the Father of Rock & Roll. The Crickets were one of the first bands of their kind to begin writing their own hits. Buddy’s music has gone on to inspire The Beatles, Elvis Costello, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, & countless others.

In THAT’LL BE THE DAY, Todd Meredith and The Rave-Ons will take you on a musical journey starting with Buddy’s early recordings at Decca Records in Nashville, through his breakout hits with Norvajack Studios in Clovis, NM, and ending with the story of his ill fated final tour. Audience members will be treated to humorous banter and music history trivia inspired by this influential group.
