Description

If only for the impact of “Rock Around the Clock”, Bill Haley would deserve a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (He was inducted in 1987)! Yet his impact in the early days of Rock and Roll went well beyond that milestone.  For most of the Fifties, Bill Haley was a presence on the record charts, and he appeared in several rock and roll movies aimed at teenagers. It is estimated that Bill Haley and His Comets have sold 60 million records worldwide. No wonder Bill Haley has been called “The Father of Rock and Roll” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll’s first star!”

Now his Son, Bill Haley Jr. & The Comets, recapture the heyday of his famous father and The Comets and carry on the tradition his father started. Re-creating the music, the feel, the excitement, the authentic stage costuming and the energy, Bill Haley Jr. & The Comets will have the audience on their feet, dancing in the aisles and singing along to every song as they are transported back to the very beginning of Rock & Roll!
