Agnes Torres inducted into Buddy Holly Plaza

The Buddy Holly Plaza & Walk of Fame committee has announced its 2005 inductees. Among them will be one of Tejano music’s original divas, Agnes Torres, of the New Variety Band, who, along with Arturo Gutiérrez, have entertained thousands of Tejano fans.
Torres is only the second Tejano artist inducted into the Buddy Holly Walk of Fame—the Hometown Boys were the first inducted, in 1996.


A full day celebration of events is scheduled in Lubbock TX on September 1st, as the widow of Buddy Holly presents Torres with the Star on the Walk of Fame. Fans may attend the ceremonies at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center gratis.

Torres will also perform at the event to coincide with the festivities. For more information please call 806-775-2242.
