Two Tons of Steel - The All-Buddy Show: Tribute to Lubbock Legend Buddy Holly
Friday, September 11, 2026
Doors:  6:50 pm • Showtime: 7:30 pm

Before there was Americana, before there was Texas Country, Two Tons of Steel front man Kevin Geil and his original band rocked a sound that blended the best of musical worlds and pushed the envelope of “Texas” sound with a signature brand of country meets punk.  The San Antonio-based group packed the small bars and local hangouts and quickly became the Alamo City’s most-loved band, earning them a spot on the cover of Billboard Magazine. It was the beginning of a twenty-plus year journey for Geil and the 4-piece ensemble.

Releasing “Two Tons Of Steel” in 1994 and “Crazy For My Baby” in 1995 on Blue Fire Records the re-named Two Tons of Steel began traveling outside of Texas, including stops at the Grand Ole Opry, the National Theater in Havana, Cuba and European tours - to greet fans who had embraced their Texas-born sound. 

   Beyond their mantle-full of “Best Band” and “Best Male Vocalist” accolades, the reach of Two Tons of Steel extends far beyond their live gigs. In 2003, the band was filmed during a “Two Ton Tuesday” gig for the IMAX film, "Texas: The Big Picture," which can be seen daily at the IMAX Theatre in the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. The band also has been featured as supporting characters in award winning author Karen Kendall's romance novel, "First Date."

   In recent years, Two Tons Of Steel has occasionally performed full shows dedicated to one of their biggest influences, the late, great Buddy Holly.  This show at the historic Cactus Theater is entitled the ALL-BUDDY SHOW for this very reason - and fans of Buddy and Two Tons will revel in their mastery and energized delivery of the legendary Holly catalog.  Don’t miss this chance to see one of the most dynamic and enduring Texas bands of the past quarter century do what they do best…ROCK THE HOUSE!
