A Tribute to Neil Diamond in Concert
In 2018, Neil Diamond announced his retirement from touring after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The legendary singer, songwriter, and performer was known for lighting up any venue where he performed, running through his back catalog while keeping audiences rapt.
Now, David Jericko has stepped into Diamond's blue jeans, using his well-honed skills as a tribute act to pay homage to one of America's greatest living singer-songwriters.
Solitary Man: A Tribute to Neil Diamond features smashes from all eras of Diamond's career, which includes a stint writing songs at the storied Brill Building, 10 chart-topping singles, a starring role in the 1980 remake of The Jazz Singer, and the 2018 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jericko pays proper tribute to Diamond's decades-spanning legend, wearing outfits that call back to Diamond's most iconic performances and inviting audience members to sing along with staples of the 20th-century American songbook like the swinging "Cherry, Cherry," the sparkling "Heartlight," the stirring "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon," and the singalong-ready "Sweet Caroline."
The Chicago-born Jericko has made a name for himself as one of the country's premier tribute acts in his decades-long career. He's played the part of Elvis in Las Vegas and New York, wowing audiences with his attention to detail and resonant voice, and his salute to Neil Diamond is full of verve and top-notch musicianship. A sterling guitar player in his own right, Jericko is backed by The Crew, a team of music-business lifers who give Diamond's songs the ultra-professional treatment they deserve.
Neil Diamond may have hung up his microphone, but David Jericko is here to bring his fans an experience they won't forget. His tribute to Diamond is full of energy and positivity, helping the troubadour's legacy live on in a way that lights up, and adds to, listeners' memories.
