The music of legendary singer and American Jewish icon Neil Diamond will be performed by
our country’s leading Neil Diamond tribute band, Simply Diamond, and include everything
from “Sweet Caroline” to “Love on the Rocks” plus some other select favorites from this
bygone era in music!
Following the advice of Paul Shaffer of The Late Show with David Letterman, Brian LaBanc
embarked on a new musical venture…a Neil Diamond tribute band, called “Simply Diamond.”
As per Paul Shaffer, “Brian is the best Neil Diamond tribute act out there. His voice sounds
like the real deal. I’ve seen four of the biggest Neil Diamond tribute acts and this guy blows
them all away.” In addition to touring across the United States with his band, Brian has made
appearances at many clubs in New York City, the AOL internet show called “Latenet with Ray
Ellin” where Paul Shaffer did the honors of introducing him, and on the Joey Reynolds radio
show. Joey Reynolds, another music legend, worked with Neil Diamond at Bang Records and
broke many of Neil’s hits on the radio back in the day. After Brian sang live, Joey said, “I can’t
tell the difference between Brian and Neil…if I closed my eyes I’d swear that Neil is here with
me in the room.”
I have personally seen four of the top Neil Diamond impersonators
in the country and this guy blows them all away!
