David James and the Big River Band are bringing their Johnny Cash tribute to the Massey Theatre stage in February. Tickets are on sale now.

If there's a Johnny Cash fan or a Buddy Holly aficionado on your Christmas list, your shopping just got a little easier.

Tickets are on sale for Two Legends: One Stage, which is coming to the Massey Theatre on Friday, Feb. 7.

Rock.It Boy Entertainment is presenting the two acts - David James and the Big River band with their tribute to Johnny Cash, and Johnny Vallis' tribute to Buddy Holly.

A press release calls James "one of the world's premier tribute artists."

"With the look, the moves and the sound, he does Johnny proud as he recreates such hits as Folsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire, Hey Porter, Rock Island Line, Get Rhythm, The Long Black Veil, Daddy Sang Bass, Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down, A Boy Named Sue, Man In Black, Walk The Line and Orange Blossom Special," the release says.

James provided the voice of Johnny Cash in the award-winning film My Father and The Man in Black.

Vallis, meanwhile, takes on the persona of the man who made a huge mark on early rock 'n' roll before his death in 1959.

The concert marks the 55th anniversary of Holly's death.

"In his tribute to the rock icon, Johnny Vallis perfectly portrays both the look and the sound as he rolls out Buddy's greatest hits: That'll Be The Day, Words of Love, Not Fade Away, Oh Boy, Peggy Sue, Maybe Baby, Rave On, Heartbeat and more," the release says.

They're set to hit the stage starting at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $42.50 plus service charges. For tickets, call 604-521-5050 or see www.masseytheatre.com.
