CLOVIS ROCKED OUT! The 2009 Clovis Music Festival was a huge success this year thanks to the efforts of many individuals and business throughout the Clovis Community. Thursday night the “Legends” of Rock and Roll, Dave Somerville, The Fireballs, Johnny Tillotson and Shirley Alston Reeves put on performances that reviled performances from their hay days. Friday night highlighted a tribute show to the Originators of Rock and Roll featuring Johnny Rogers as Buddy Holly, Darell Croy as Jerry Lee Lewis and Peter Peterkin as Little Richard. Tunes from the old days filled the Curry County Events Center and the crowd was temporarily transported back to the 1950’s. Saturday night was like no other with the Ricky Nelson Remembered tribute show performed by Ricky Nelson’s sons, Gunner and Matthew Nelson as well as performances by Kevin Montgomery and Johnny Rogers. The show was full of energy and entertained a range of generations.
Participation by the New Mexico Department of Tourism and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a true pleasure.
This year’s Clovis Music Festival would not have been a success without the help and support of our sponsors and volunteers. Thanks to everyone who poured their heart and soul into this event, it truly was one for the record books! We can’t wait to Rock Out again next year with you!
