April 10, 2015 (El Cajon ) – Rock and roll superstar Chubby Checker will perform a concert with a “Twist” on  April 23^rd at Sycuan’s Live & Up Close Theater.  Checker rocketed to fame in 1960, when his recording of “The Twist” was the number one song in the nation, sparking a new dance craze and countless variations such as the “Peppermint Twist”, “Let’s Twist Again” and “Twist and Shout.”

 He is the only artist ever to have 5 albums in the top 12 at one time and the only artist to have a song hit number one twice with “The Twist” which Billboard Magazine rated the number one song of all time.

 He won a Grammy for best rock performance and went on to record more hit songs such as “Limbo Rock” and “Knock Down Walls,” attracting new generations of fans.
