Get ready to twist the night away with one of rock ‘n roll’s most iconic legends! Chubby Checker, the man who made “The Twist” a worldwide sensation, will be performing live in Riverview at The Regent on Friday, April 18. Fans of all ages will have the chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime concert with the King of The Twist himself.
Get ready to groove to Checker’s greatest hits, including the timeless “The Twist,” “Let’s Twist Again,” “Limbo Rock,” ‘Pony Time,” “Slow Twistin’” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.” This electrifying show will have everyone up on their feet, twisting and dancing through the decades of music that shaped the sound of the ’60s.
This is not a tribute show. This is the real Checker, the man who redefined the dance craze with his infectious hits. Checker introduced “The Twist” to the world at the age of 18 in 1960 at the Rainbow Club in Wildwood, New Jersey. The song went on to top the Billboard Hot 100 not once but twice — first in 1960 and again in 1961. Thanks to a powerful performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, “The Twist” became a cultural phenomenon, and Checker’s legacy as the King of The Twist was cemented forever.
