Bobby Bruce's World Class Tribute to Neil Diamond
Show Formats
and the
Solitary Band
Originally formed in 1997, the Solitary Band is currently comprised of Kyle Radomsky (Drums), Dave Corman (Guitar), Craig Zurba (Keys), Marlow Holder (Bass) and Sandra Volodoff (Vocals). The "Home Team" have been touring together for over a decade; across the US and Canada as well as to New Zealand, Malaysia, the Cayman Islands and most recently to Europe throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.
In addition to crafting all the Neil Diamond classics, the Solitary Band are the seasoned all stars that make Nearly Neil and the Solitary Band "Much More than a Tribute to Neil Diamond". Either intermingled within the Nearly Neil show - they way they've been rocking the Hard Rock and River Rock in Vancouver for a dozen years - or in addition as a dance set, the Solitary Band cover some of todays and yesterdays favourite dance tunes; allowing the Solitary Band to offer a completely tailored performance to suit every event.
A Tribute to Neil Diamond AND MORE
"Down Under"
First touring Australia in 1996, Bobby re-united with his former Musical Director, Dale Genner, in 2008 beginning a new touring partnership with DownUnder Promotions.
After numerous successful tours, we were excited to expand the band to include a string section for our most recent "Beautiful Noise Tour". The fully charted all live show has spent 6 months in the last two years crossing the continent and most recently at SKYCITY Auckland.
Piano & String Quartet
"Bobby Bruce continues to stretch the meaning of tribute band."
- Tom Harrison, Vancouver Sun
Playing guitar and accompanied purely by piano and string quartet, Bobby beguiles with his delicious rich baritone and emotive retelling of Diamonds' classics. Suited best to studio and mainstage theatres and classical concert halls this remarkable performance is in a class of its own; sure to please the most well-heeled and discerning clientele.
Solo Show
Not every venue is suited to a band, so Bobby has developed his own solo or "reduced footprint" show. Appearing in pubs and clubs, at corporate and private functions, Bobby is able to convey the emotion of a band show all on his own. Accompanied by live recording of his own bands (the Solitary Band and the Down Under Players) Bobby plays guitar and sings live. The result is an initimate evening of Neil Diamond music suited to almost any space.
