By Andrea Davidson


Neil Diamond is a popular musician who has been involved in the music world since 1958. He is known as a popular artist, among the top five, in the genre of adult contemporary music in America. His songs are played across the world and many artists, in various genres, cover his work. Neil Diamond tribute bands are the groups that exclusively perform his music.

Tribute acts are musical groups, musicians or singers who specifically perform the music of well-known musical artists. Sometimes they do this for artists who have disbanded, passed away or stopped touring. Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Iron Maiden are just some examples of popular artists who have these kinds of acts made in honor of them.

The groups are not known to feature members of the original band that is being honored. If a member of the original lineup is in the mix, it is then considered a spin-off rather than a tribute act. Still, guest appearances featuring original members has occurred.

These tribute acts are different from cover bands that simply perform music by others. Instead, they strive to capture all the nuances of a particular artist, including his or her appearance. They strive to imitate the original work as closely as possible. In some cases, these groups imitate the appearance but choose to reinterpret the original music in a certain genre or for comedic effect. Such acts typically name themselves based on the original name of the band, or sometimes they use song or album titles.

Individuals may do this as a specific role, hobby or even a job. Some perform on streets, others at entertainment venues, such as casinos and bars. A select few have contracts with venues and are given regular pay for performances. In general, the people who decide to impersonate this famous singer-songwriter and his backing band have some musical talents. In addition to being able to sing or play instruments, they are also familiar with his entire catalog.

This famous singer-songwriter has been given many honors and awards. His discography includes over 30 hit tracks and more than 30 studio albums. Around the globe, over 70 million copies of his records have been sold to fans. These are just a few reasons why many musicians decide to cover or imitate his work.

Much time and effort goes into studying the actions, behaviors and work of the artist. Members then do their best imitation of it all. Bands of this type are formed all around the world, even in places where musicians may not be considered top artists by the majority.

Neil Diamond tribute bands exist all around the world. These artists perform and imitate the work of the American singer-songwriter and his band.
