Buddy Holly – Reborn? Or GEORGE TRULLINGER
George Trullinger jokes about looking like a “geek” with his greasy, slicked-back hair, big horned-rim glasses, bow-tie, and white socks – but then he really gets down to some serious rockin’ and rollin’ music when he launches into favorites like “That’ll Be The Day” and “Peggy Sue” - sounding and looking exactly like Buddy Holly!
George always knew he wanted to be in ‘Show Business’ from the time he was a young boy and put his first band together. In addition to Buddy Holly, he has successfully impersonated ‘on-stage’ – performers such as The Blues Brothers Dan Aykroyd, Mick Jagger, and most recently, Ed Sullivan!
