Tony Starlight presents Neil Diamond’s 80th Birthday Tribute
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Musical comedian Tony Starlight shall Neil before you. Starlight fronts a seven-piece band that performs a loving tribute to Neil Diamond with equal parts heart and laughter. Musically the performance is spot on. In fact, Tony Starlight sounds so much like Diamond that fans have remarked, “it’s eerie” But what makes this show special are the laughs.
Whether it's monologues about the lifestyle of a living legend and the burdens of carrying around such enormous talent or challenging the audience to perform better, or an all-new take on “You Don’t Bring me Flowers”, no other Diamond tribute is this much fun. And it’s the only tribute with simulated figure skating. Here’s the kicker: Even people who don’t like Neil Diamond like this show. (You know what you call people who don’t like Neil Diamond, don’t ya? LIARS)
Neil Diamond turned eighty on January 24, 2021. Portland, you missed it while in lockdown. Well, it’s not too late to celebrate the music and artistry of one of the greatest living singer-songwriters.
