Neil Diamond - the Tribute Featuring Rob Garrett & the K.O.D Band
Las Vegas, NV, January 14, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Legendary singer/songwriter/composer Neil Diamond will turn 74 on January 24th and is scheduled to begin a world tour about 1 month afterwards. Surprisingly, Las Vegas is not presently listed as one of his stops. However, local fans of Diamond will be able to catch the gentleman who most agree is the next best thing to the real thing.
Last May, over 2000 patrons turned out to see Garrett perform his highly acclaimed show at the Texas Station Hotel & Casino. Now, for his first show of 2015, Garrett & band will attempt to fill the 2000 seat Grand Events Center of GVR. Rob Garrett has has had a long, prolific, career as a Las Vegas entertainer. He began performing with his band, ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN in 1980 working bars, clubs, lounges, & even some showrooms before he ultimately decided to change the direction of his career by becoming a Neil Diamond tribute artist for Legends in Concert in 1995. He worked on and off for "Legends" for about 5 years before going off on his own, traveling around the country (sometimes the world), becoming one of the most popular, respected, tribute acts in the industry and earning the title "King of Diamonds".
"Out of all the tribute acts running around Las Vegas (and elsewhere), there is none better than Garrett" .
Norm Johnson, Veteran Las Vegas Entertainment Columnist
His shows always sell out which is a testament to the hard work and perseverance he has put into his trade. Rob recently concluded a 3 month stint at the Westgate Resort/Casino (former Las Vegas Hilton) for which Mike Weatherford of the Las Vegas Review Journal wrote "Garrett does sound astonishingly like Diamond..."
Joining Garrett on stage is Keith Neal (lead guitar/vocals), Steve Henley (rhythm guitar/vocals), Daryl Slade (bass), Steve Gerard (keys), Jay Boyer (keys), LJ Harness (percussion), Jeff Borree (drums). & Russine Zellner (vocals)
